What is recorded here

Enclosure in Tullequane is an enclosure in Tullequane, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an east-west grassland ridge with panoramic upland views, and no surface remains are visible of the levelled enclosure. The 1840 and 1903 maps show a circle about 30 metres across, but the 1903 edition omits the northeast and southeast quadrants. A possible megalithic structure lies in the south quadrant, and a 1974 aerial photograph shows the upstanding enclosure.
