What is recorded here
Settlement deserted is a settlement deserted (medieval) in Gaile, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a grassland ridge in high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. Irregular earthworks that appear to represent small rectangular fields extend about 190 metres north, about 200 metres east and about 250 metres south of the church and graveyard. They appear to radiate from the large enclosure surrounding that church and graveyard, and they are possibly settlement earthworks associated with the church.
