Recorded monuments

• TN011-025 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Situated in gently rolling pastureland, just off the crest of a ridge on land sloping gradually to the SW. A rectangular platform (dims. 22m N-S; 25.3m E-W) defined by a steep scarp (H 1.4m), slight traces of a bank at the SW and SE corners, and faint traces of a shallow external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.1m) except at E where there is no visible trace. The fairly flat interior slopes very slightly to the W. 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

• TN011-026 Enclosure
  Description

  Located just off the crest of a ridge in ground sloping to the SW, in pastureland. Depicted as a curving boundary forming a wedge between two field boundaries on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map. A very low, curving bank (Wth c. 8m) which appears to have been levelled is possibly that indicated on the OS 6-inch map. It may have been part of a circular enclosure but there is no visible trace of the site continuing into the adjacent field to the N. 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).

• TN011-027 Moated site
  Description

  Located in pasture off the crest of a SW-facing slope. Indicated as a rectangular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but not marked on the subsequent 1903 ed. There is no visible trace of this site above ground. It has been levelled, as has the field boundary to the NW which formed part of the NW side of the site. The site was inspected in the 1970s and described as 'a very eroded site with no visible moat and with the centre raised 2 to 3m above the level of the countryside. From a field examination it was impossible to tell whether it was a degraded motte or a platform rath' (Barry 1977, 83). 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).
