What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise of ground in undulating countryside. A poorly preserved site consisting of a circular area (diam. 20m N-S) enclosed by a low poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) which is destroyed at S by a modern drain and reduced to a scarp at E. No outer fosse or entrance feature visible (Stout 1984, 74). Depicted on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map as an irregular grove of trees associated with a nineteenth-century plantation. 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
