What is recorded here

Greenan Mote is an enclosure in Greenan (glenahiry By.), County Waterford, Ireland. Lyons recorded it in 1934 as a low, flat and circular mote on the west side of a low hill in the flood-plain of the west-east River Suir. The earthwork was removed around 1960, leaving no visible ground-level trace at the time of that account.

Marked faintly as an oval feature (dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a scarped hillock on the 1922 ed. It is described as 'Greenan Mote' in both. It is situated in pasture on the W side of a low hill in the flood-plain of the W-E River Suir, and was described by Lyons (1934) as a low, flat and circular 'mote'. It was removed c. 1960, and is not visible at ground level. Lyons, P. (1934) Miscellanea - Forts etc. near Clonmel. JRSAI 64, 261.
