What is recorded here
Enclosure in Tullahedy is an enclosure in Tullahedy, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a natural gravel ridge above flat, poorly drained land with extensive views. A natural quarry marks the end of the glacial ridge, while excavations along the ridge recovered charcoal spreads, Neolithic pottery and chert implements. The enclosure may have belonged to that broader Neolithic occupation.
Situated on a natural gravel ridge on flat poorly drained land with extensive views. There is a natural quarry at the end of the glacial ridge as indicated on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Recent excavations revealed several charcoal spreads with associated neolithic pottery and chert implements all along the length of the glacial ridge (TN020-079002). The enclosure site may have been associated with this occupation.
