Recorded monuments

• TN033-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the N end of a gentle ridge in an otherwise flat valley, under pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map with field boundaries incorporated in the S and W sectors. The enclosure is not marked on the current (1904) ed. although the southern portion is indicated by a kink in the field boundary. The site has been levelled (approx. diam. 33m) but the kink in the earth and stone field bank remains. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

• TN033-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a very gentle E-facing slope in a flat valley, under pasture. The site has been levelled but is still clearly visible as a slightly raised circular area (diam. 27.4m N-S; 26.3m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.32m; ext. H 0.7m) with a possible entrance (Wth 3.4m) at N. Field boundaries leading up to SW and NE quadrants, as depicted on 1st ed. and current OS 6-inch maps, have been levelled. 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).

• TN033-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise above a river valley, in pasture. The river flows c. 20m SW of the site in a roughly E-W direction. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. By the latest ed. (1902) the S half of the site had been destroyed and field boundaries put in place. The site has been levelled as are the field boundaries to the S and SW, however, a hint of a circular area (c. 23m N-S) is discernible as a very low bank. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
