What is recorded here

Situated in a relatively low-lying position with ground rising gradually to the NW and S. A poorly preserved mound of gravel and clay which has been greatly altered by quarrying. It survives to a height of c. 2m and has a maximum diameter of c. 26m. The centre of the site has been completely quarried out, with an entrance cut through the mound to N and one to S. All that remains is the outer edge at the E and W, however, this could be augmented by spoil material which has been pushed outwards. 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
