What is recorded here

Situated on a flat platform in a poorly drained marshy area with a stream to the N. A barely discernible circular area (diam. 24m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved scarp (H 0.3m) with possible fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m) visible from N to NE only. Field fences intersect the site at NE and E. 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
