What is recorded here

Enclosure in Glengoole North is an enclosure in Glengoole North, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular site is about 21 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west. It contains levelled bank remains, a shallow fosse and traces of an outer bank. A coin from the reign of King Henry II was found there.

In improved re-seeded pasture, on a level area, just above a WNW-facing slope. A circular area (dims. c. 21m N-S; c. 22m E-W) defined by the levelled remains of a bank (Wth 16.75m; int. H 0.13m; ext. H 0.46m) best preserved from W-N-E yet traceable WSW-W, a fosse (overall Wth c. 7m; D 0.1m) best preserved in the SW quadrant and traces of an outer bank (Wth 13m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.15m) visible from SW-N-NE and from SE-S-SW. A field boundary (long-axis NW-SE), now removed, may have truncated the outer elements of the monument across the NE sector. The interior is dish-shaped. A coin from the reign of King Henry II (1154-89) was found in this ringfort (NMI files). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 5 June 2012
