What is recorded here

Situated just below the summit of a low hillock on a S-facing slope with a nearby ringfort (TN036-002) to the NE. A raised circular area (diam. 28m N-S) defined by a tree-lined scarp (H 1m) destroyed at NE with an entrance gap (Wth 3m) at NW. Evidence of external stone-facing of the scarp is visible at S. This site may have been reused as a tree-ring in the nineteenth century by the occupiers of nearby Fortfield House. 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
