What is recorded here
Enclosure in Marshalstown is an enclosure in Marshalstown, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2011 source places it in reclaimed upland grassland and records good views in all directions, with a ringfort 500 metres to the east. It records no visible surface remains of the levelled enclosure. A 1954 sketch showed a roughly oval 26-metre north-south by 28-metre east-west area enclosed by a bank, while a 1982 account described a much-denuded circular area enclosed by a bank and outer fosse.
