What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope in undulating terrain. The site is quite denuded. A circular area (TN015-077001) enclosed by a bank reduced to a scarp, a fosse and a poorly preserved outer bank, flattened traces of which survive at N and W. There is a possible causewayed entrance in the SE quadrant. Surviving banks of old field boundaries (TN015-077002) run into the outer bank of the ringfort at NE and E and form two roughly D-shaped fields. These are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1973/4 (GSIAP, R 94/3; R 193/4). 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
