What is recorded here

Located in pasture on fairly level ground which slopes off to SE down to the River Suir. An irregular-shaped area (diam. 32m N-S) defined by the low remains of a denuded bank in at N and SW (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.41m; ext. H 1.2m). In the NW quadrant the bank has been completely levelled and in the SE it has been reduced to a scarp. The NE quadrant has been quarried along its edge and it is not possible to determine the original extent of the site on this side. Quarrying also extended to the N and NW sectors of the site. 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
