What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope. Depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure with a field boundary abutting the site at E and another near the S sector. By the 1903 ed. the site is less clearly defined, with only the E half hachured. The present remains consists of a small roughly circular area enclosed by a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.63m) reduced to a scarp at S and an external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.3m). A field boundary runs parallel to the N side of the enclosure. 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
