What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rathmore (Caher parish) is an enclosure in Rathmore (Caher parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The source account recorded that the field was levelled about ten years before that account was written, leaving subtle undulations on the slopes of a natural ridge running north-south along the west edge. The irregular enclosure measured about 90 metres north-south and 25 metres east-west, and it was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph rather than described as an upstanding ground form.

On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. This enclosure (diam. c. 90m N-S; c. 25m E-W) is either attached to the NE side of a large sub-rectangular enclosure (TS076-069----) or its W side was destroyed by the construction of the sub-rectangular enclosure. It was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (31) 15;(32) 3-7). The enclosure has two smaller conjoined enclosures (TS076-070002-; TS076-070003-) to the SE. Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the irregular enclosure was located.
