What is recorded here

Enclosure in Farneybridge is an enclosure in Farneybridge, County Tipperary, Ireland. A 1973 aerial photograph recorded this circular enclosure immediately southwest of Ballyvesta Fort, although it does not appear on the six-inch maps. The enclosure measures 26 metres north to south and 26 metres east to west and is defined by a very low earthen bank. A post-and-wire fence crosses its eastern edge from north to south along a corresponding ledge.

Situated in an area of undulating pastureland. A number of earthworks were indicated on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSI AP, S 465/6) which consisted of a circular and rectangular enclosure (TN041-053003/002) respectively situated SW of 'Ballyvesta Fort' (TN041-053001) and a roughly rectangular enclosure (TN041-053004) with adjoined circular enclosure (TN041-053005) to SE. None of these sites are indicated on the OS 6-inch maps. The circular enclosure (diam. 26m N-S; 26m E-W) immediately SW of Ballyvesta Fort is delimited by a very low earthen bank transected at E by a post and wire fence extending N-S along a corresponding ledge.
