What is recorded here

Situated on high ground on a break in a SE-facing slope overlooking a broad plain. Depicted as a circular platform-type earthwork on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the revised 1901 ed. OS 25-inch map which implies that the site was levelled between 1840 and 1901. Not visible at ground level. A field boundary immediately S of the site has been removed recently. 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: 27 January 2012

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.
