What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope of rising ground in a river valley in a mountainous region. A raised circular area (diam. 34m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.7m) with traces of a shallow external fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.2m). The bank is reused as a townland boundary from N to E and is reduced to a scarp in places. No clear 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
