Earthwork

What is recorded here

Earthwork in Redwood (Dorrha parish) is an earthwork in Redwood (Dorrha parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 1843 first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular earthwork, possibly an enclosure, while the revised 1901 edition Ordnance Survey twenty-five-inch map depicted a roughly circular platform-type earthwork. The 2002 archaeological inventory recorded it on flat, poorly drained pasture with a bog to the north and a tower house to the west, but also recorded that it is not visible at ground level.
