What is recorded here

The moated site in Sallsquarter is in County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2011 account recorded a slightly raised platform measuring 32 metres north-south and 38 metres east-west, enclosed by an earth and stone bank with an outer fosse. The bank is well preserved from west through north to northeast and reduced to a scarp from southeast through south to northwest, while the fosse is very well preserved from north to northeast only.

On flat poorly drained pasture with good views in all directions. An enclosure (TS047-098----) lies 375m to the NW and Killough Castle (TS047-057----) lies 650m to the W. This monument is overgrown with trees and bushes making examination difficult. It consists of a slightly raised platform (int. dims. 32m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (top Wth 1-2m; base Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) reduced to a scarp in places and outer fosse ( top Wth 3.3m; base Wth 1.2-3m; ext. D 0.8m) with no clear entrance feature visible. The bank is well preserved from W through N to NE and reduced to a scarp from SE through S to NW. The fosse is very well preserved from N to NE only, elsewhere it has been filled in. A small linear-shaped quarry has cut into the external face of the N bank at the E end (dims. Wth 1m; D 0.5m; L 5m). Field clearance debris has been dumped along the outer edge of the bank at the E side. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
