What is recorded here

Situated on natural rock outcrop in undulating countryside. An irregular-shaped flat-topped mound (H 1.5m at SW, 0.4m at NE; base diam. 18m N-S; 12m E-W), scarped along its SW face giving it a man-made appearance. It is probably natural rock outcrop which was scarped at SW and flattened on top during the construction of a road which intersects the mound at S. Of doubtful antiquity; not marked on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
