What is recorded here

Located on a SW-facing slope in rolling pastureland. A circular area (diam. 37.4m N-S; 39.5m E-W) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.27m; ext. H 1.57m). No external fosse visible at ground level and no visible entrance feature. The bank is quite denuded in places and was destroyed at N, possibly to build the haggard immediately N of the site. The interior slopes to the SSW. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
