What is recorded here

Situated on a low natural rise of ground in undulating countryside. A poorly preserved site, the NE sector of which has been quarried away. Originally the site consisted of a raised circular area (diam. 26m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) with a possible filled in fosse (Stout 1984, 71) which is described in an earlier field report (1979 OPW file) as measuring 3m wide and is best preserved at N. No entrance feature visible - it may have been destroyed by the large quarry in the E sector of the site. 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
