What is recorded here

Situated on the gentle SW-facing slope of a hill, in pasture. A circular site (12.8m N-S; 12.8m E-W) consisting of a central mound (diam. 4.8m; H 0.26m), a narrow, U-shaped fosse (W 1.7m; D 0.86m) and an outer bank (W 2m; ext. H 0.14m). The bank is steep-sided and the fosse is well defined with some rushes growing in it. 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
