What is recorded here

Situated on natural rock outcrop which slopes steeply from S to W with a more gradual slope at N and E. A drystone wall (0.9m T; max. int. H 0.75m; max. ext. H 1.25m) retains the top of this hill (diam. 47.2m N-S; 56.6m E-W). It is more substantial where the external ground slope is gradual, though it has been robbed in the NE quadrant. The interior ground level rises towards the centre. 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
