What is recorded here

Enclosure in Railstown (Railstown parish) is an enclosure in Railstown (Railstown parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 1840 map depicts a sub-rectangular area, while the 1952-54 edition records a sub-oval enclosure about 40 metres north-northeast to south-southwest and 35 metres west-northwest to east-southeast. The later form is defined by a field boundary to the east-southeast, southwest and west-northwest and possibly north-northeast. The 2011 source records no visible surface trace and says the location appeared quarried away, with a hollow occupying the field.

In improved pasture, on a gentle SSW-facing slope. No visible surface trace. Depicted as a sub-rectangular area on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1952-54 ed. as a sub-oval area (dims. c. 40m NNE-SSW; c. 35m WNW-ESE) defined by a field boundary to ESE, SW and WNW and possibly NNE. The monument appears to have been quarried away as the location is now occupied by a hollow in the field. Ringfort (TS061-118----) is c. 100m to SW.
