What is recorded here

Situated on flat poorly drained pasture in undulating countryside. A raised circular area (diam. 27.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1m) with traces of a shallow external fosse. According to the OS Letters the ringfort was used as a burial place for unbaptised children (TN026-045002) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 121). No entrance feature visible. 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
