What is recorded here

Enclosure in Longford Wood is an enclosure in Longford Wood, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in undulating reclaimed pastureland, 25 metres northeast of another enclosure site. The 1840 map does not indicate it, while the 1904 edition shows a circular enclosure. In the source account, the landowner remembered the site, said it was not a real fort and reported that it had been levelled within the preceding 30 years. No remains were visible at ground level when recorded.
