Enclosure in Graystown is an enclosure in Graystown, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on the western edge of a limestone ridge that rises gradually eastward, holding a defensive view over the Clashawley river valley. Inside the tower house bawn and beside the southeast angle of the 17th-century house is a sunken square area 12.5 metres north-south, 15.1 metres east-west and 0.7 metres deep, which may represent a walled garden or inner courtyard aligned with the gateway.

On the W edge of a ridge of limestone outcrop which rises gradually to the E. It occupies a defensive position overlooking the Clashawley river valley floor below. Located inside bawn of tower house (TS054-037002-) and immediately adjoining the SE angle of the 17th-century house (TS054-037003-) there is a sunken square-shaped area (dims. 12.5m N-S; 15.1m E-W; D 0.7m) which may represent a walled area/garden or inner courtyard associated with the house. It appears to be aligned with the 17th-century gateway into the bawn (TS054-037001-). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
