What is recorded here

Enclosure in Kilmore (Lisronagh parish) is an enclosure in Kilmore (Lisronagh parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It sat on flat ground at the base of a south-facing slope, with the Brackford river flowing northwest to southeast just southwest of the site and a ringfort visible on the opposing hillside to the south-southeast. Maps from 1840 and 1904 showed an enclosure about 20 metres across, but the earthwork has been levelled and no trace is visible at ground level today. A high stone wall from a deer park runs northeast to southwest immediately northwest of the former site.
