Recorded monuments

• TN027-140002 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on the summit of Ballincurra Hill, enclosed by hillfort (TN027-140001); panoramic views in all directions. Knockadiggen is visible to the NE. A circular cairn of limestone (diam. 18.3m N-S; H 1.77-2.15m), overgrown with heather. The interior is hollowed out (Wth 5.7-5.9m; D 1m), probably the result of robbing for adjacent stone walls. A stone wall (T c.1.6m x H 0.6m) abuts the cairn at SE and a denuded stone wall extends along the side of the cairn at NE. Forestry encroaches onto the edge of the cairn at S and NW, however a corridor has been left open through the forest giving a vista to SW. 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

• TN027-141 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the lower S-facing slope of Ballincurra Hill. A circular area (diam. 34m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) and wide flat-bottomed outer fosse (Wth 1.6-3m; D 1.53m) which is best visible upslope to N, E and W but disappears towards S. The bank is reduced to a scarp along the S edge of the site, and is quite denuded in the W sector with no external fosse. No definite entrance visible. 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).

• TN033-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a very flat tract of land on a valley floor with the Nenagh River c. 100m to the N. A circular area defined by a gravelly, clay bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.12m) which is quite denuded in places. No fosse is evident though there is a slight dip at the base of the bank (Wth c. 1m; D 0.15m). Breaks in the bank occur at SW (Wth 1m) and N (Wth 1.6m). The field boundary depicted on the 1st and current eds. of the OS 6-inch map joining the site at the NW and SE quadrants has 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).
