What is recorded here

Situated in a slight hollow in an undulating field with successive rises and troughs, in pasture. A circular area (diam. 41m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.42m; ext. H 0.86m) and shallow fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.5m) visible at N and E. The external base of the bank is obscured by field clearance debris. There are two breaks in the bank in the W sector, one providing narrow cattle access to the site, the other is wider but is obscured by stones which have been dumped in this area. 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
