Enclosure

What is recorded here

The enclosure in Kilbraugh is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands just off the top of a hill in the Slieveardagh Hills on a northwest-facing slope, with panoramic views from west through north to east and higher ground to the south. A circular area thirty-three metres north-south and thirty-five metres east-west is now fenced off inside a field newly planted with conifers and broad-leaved trees, but no visible remains of the enclosure show within it because the field was in high grass at the time of visit and any low earthwork would have been obscured. A burial ground lies three hundred and sixty metres to the west, and views reach Grange village to the northeast and Clonamicklon castle to the north.

Fine panoramic views of Grange village and Clonamicklon castle (TS049-002----) to NE and N respectively. Burial ground (TS049-010----) 360m to W. Field in which enclosure is situated has just been planted with a mixture of conifers and broad leaves with an circular area (diam. 33m N-S; 35m E-W 35m-) fenced off which contains the enclosure. No visible remains of enclosure inside fenced off area, field was in high grass at time of visit and any low earthwork would have been obscured by the grass. No other features visible, no access road into enclosure which in several years time will probably be inaccessible. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
