What is recorded here

Situated on a hillock in an area of rock outcrop in a mountainous region. A circular area (diam. 31m E-W) originally enclosed by two drystone walls of which only the wall-footings survive with intervening fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.6m) and causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at E. The inner bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 1m; int. H 0.5m) is mainly reduced to a scarp while the outer bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 0.6m) is best visible from E to S. A field fence intersects the fosse at W on a N-S axis. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
