Situated in low-lying, wet, marshy terrain which has been reclaimed, 380m SE of Monaincha House and 200m N of Lady's Island (TN017-019001-/002-). A slight rise in the field would seem to indicate the location of this levelled site. Depicted as a circular earthwork with trees in the interior on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and as a cluster of trees on the revised 1901 ed. OS 25-inch map. Not depicated as an antiquity on any ed. OS 6-inch map. Described in 1984 as a ringfort 'that was marked only on the OS first edition map, indicated that is was removed prior to 1904' (Stout 1984, 76). This site appears to have been a tree-ring of post-1700 date located on the demesne lands of Monaincha House.
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.
