What is recorded here

Situated on a very gradual W-facing slope in meadow. The site has been levelled and now consists of a circular area (diam. 41.2m N-S; 44.4m E-W) defined by a ring of differential growth indicating the former fosse (Wth 2.5m). The site was extant in 1970 when it was described as a circular area enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.8m) and fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 1.2m) (OPW file, 1970). 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
