What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rathmore (Caher parish) is an enclosure in Rathmore (Caher parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The possible enclosure, about 60 metres across, appears as an incomplete roughly circular cropmark in aerial photographs and joins neighbouring enclosures to the north and northeast. It sits on the slopes of a natural ridge running north to south along the west edge of the site, about 300 metres north of the Rathmore ringfort on the hill crest. Only the eastern extent of the cropmark is clear enough to define, so it may be a complete circular enclosure or the eastern portion of an associated field system.

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 possible enclosure (diam. c. 60m) was identified as an incomplete, roughly circular cropmark on an aerial photographs (ASIAP (32) 6 and 7). It is conjoined with an enclosure (TS076-069----) to the N, enclosure (TS076-070001-) to the NE and a possible enclosure (TS076-070002-) to the NE. 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 larger enclosure (TS076-069----) was located. Only the E extent of the cropmark could be clearly defined, so it is not possible to establish whether this was definitely a circular enclosure or the E portion of an associated field system.
