What is recorded here

The large enclosure in Mantlehill Great is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It forms a semi-circle measuring 120 metres northeast to southwest and 82 metres northwest to southeast, with the River Suir defining its western edge. The enclosure surrounds a cliff-edge fort and may have had a bawn-like function. An 1840 map depicts it as a field boundary, while later imagery shows it as a cropmark or scarp.
