What is recorded here

Situated on a natural hillock on the flat floodplains of a river valley in a mountainous region. A natural hillock which has been used as a children's burial ground as evidenced by low orthostats protruding from the surface of the mound (H 2m; 24m NW-SE; 14.5m NNE-SSW). Several orthostats appear to be aligned in rows orientated on a NNE-SSW axis. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
