What is recorded here

Situated on the W-facing slope of a steep-sided ravine in an upland area with nearby ringforts (TN031-067, TN031-064) to the SW and NW respectively. It was not possible to inspect this site due to a dense cover of vegetation. An earlier field report (OPW 1957) describes the site as an oval-shaped area (diam. 40m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.7m) and external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.6m) visible only at E and SW. 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
