Recorded monuments

• TN021-007001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on level ground in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. c. 45.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 3.26m), a fosse (Wth 10.3m; D 3.63m) and an outer bank/walkway (Wth 14.7m; ext. H 1.35m). The main Dublin to Nenagh railway line truncates the NW quadrant (post 1840). A steep-sided, earthen mound occupies the centre of the site (diam. c. 20m; H 4m). The top of this is dug into to a depth of 1.3m. The sharp profile of the defences, the lack of a causeway or entrance, the very broad outer bank, the central mound which could be interpreted as 'tea-mount', the planting of the site with beech trees and the connection to a nearby possible ringfort (TN021-007003) by a tree-lined avenue would all suggest that this may be a tree-ring possibly modifying an existing ringfort. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

• TN021-007003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on level ground in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. 38.8m) enclosed by a steep-sided inner bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 3m), a fosse (Wth 6.6m; D 2.1m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.3m; ext. H 1.05m). Causewayed entrance in NE quadrant (Wth 1.8m). The site is planted with beech trees and is connected to a nearby possible ringfort (TN021-007001) by a tree-lined avenue suggesting the possible reuse of a ringfort as a tree-ring.
