What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope on a gentle rise in very undulating terrain with a possible ringfort (TN047-076) to the S. Depicted on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure but not indicated on subsequent 1952-3 ed. The site has been levelled but is barely visible as a roughly raised circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by a gently sloping scarp (H 0.36m). No visible trace of the site E of the field boundary. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
