What is recorded here

Enclosure in Railstown (Kilconnell parish) is an enclosure in Railstown (Kilconnell parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 1840 map depicts a circular enclosure. The 1952-54 map and 1954 field memorandums record an oval area enclosed by a fosse, about 64 metres northeast to southwest and 53 metres northwest to southeast, with a break in both bank and fosse in the southwest quadrant. The 2011 source records no visible surface trace; possible fosse lines at east and west could instead be natural undulations.

In recently reseeded field, on a gentle W-facing slope. No visible surface trace. Possible trace of fosse at E and W, but these could be natural undulations. Post and wire fence close to S.
