What is recorded here

Moated site in Jordansquarter is a moated site in Jordansquarter, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2002 inventory recorded a roughly square enclosure measuring 28.7 metres north to south and 25.5 metres east to west on a north-facing pasture slope. A 3.7-metre-wide bank with an internal height of 1.41 metres and an external height of 1 metre enclosed the area, while a deep 3.3-metre-wide fosse 1.28 metres deep bordered the south side. A shallow fosse remained on the west side, but no fosse appeared on the north or east sides, and the evident fosse was not waterlogged.

Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture. A roughly square-shaped enclosure (dims. 28.7m N-S; 25.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 1.41m; ext. H 1m) and by a deep wide fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 1.28m) at S. A shallow fosse remains on the W side but there is no fosse on the N and E sides. The fosse, where evident, is not waterlogged. There are indications of possible cultivation ridges in the interior which slopes to the N. Apart from its straight sides this site would fit comfortably into a ringfort classification based on its typical sloping location. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
