Recorded monuments
- TN027-078 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a break in a SW-facing slope of a steep hill, in pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 30m E-W), defined by a bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.77m; ext. H 1.04m) and external fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.72m). The site is transected in the NW quadrant by a NE-SW field bank. The NW sector is quite denuded where the bank and fosse have been much reduced. A shallow quarry site, c. 20m diam., now grassed over, lies 6m NE of the NE quadrant. The interior slopes to SW. There is a possible causewayed entrance at SW though this is heavily overgrown with brambles. 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
- TN027-079 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight break in an otherwise steep SW-facing slope, in pasture. A river flows roughly NW-SE along the valley floor at the base of the slope. The site (diam. 34m E-W) is enclosed by a bank largely reduced to a scarp (H 1.15m) and a deep U-shaped fosse (Wth 6.3m) with outer bank (Wth 5.1m; int. H 1.43m; ext. H 2.04m). The interior is densely overgrown with scrub, brambles and gorse, particularly in the NE half. The outer bank has been dug into at N and heaps of spoil have been dumped there. There is a possible causewayed entrance in the SE quadrant with a reduction in the outer bank. Heavy growth impairs visibility and examination of possible entrance feature. 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).

- TN027-080 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a SW-facing slope, in pasture. A large circular area (diam. 52m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 1.75m; ext. H 1.8m) and outer fosse (Wth 4.3m; D 1.17m) with a sharp, almost V-shaped profile. The fosse broadens out along the E sector where the bank is less pronounced; it is destroyed at N. Some dumping of earth and concrete into the fosse has occurred in the NE and SE quadrants. There are gaps in the bank (Wth 4.6m) at N and at SSW (Wth 2m). A road oriented NW-SE skirts the edge of the bank in the SW quadrant and a NE-SW trackway skirts the bank at NW. 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).
