What is recorded here

The large enclosure in Rathduff (Relickmurray & Athassel parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2011 source records a sub-oval enclosure about 100 metres north-south and 90 metres east-west, bounded by a low random rubble wall about 1.1 metres thick and breached in numerous places. It also records mature trees around the wall, a ruinous farm building called Rathduff Cottage just south of centre, and two ruinous field boundaries enclosing southern segments.
