- TN015-001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN015-001----. Situated on a slight E-facing slope in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. 48.6m N-S; 45.6m E-W) enclosed by a high bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.2) which falls steeply to an outer fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.6m). There is an entrance in the SE quadrant (Wth 4.3m) with boulders at the base of the bank. In the N and SW sectors the bank has been truncated externally and earth and boulders have been dumped in the fosse at 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Situated on a slightly raised area on a NE-facing slope in tillage, c. 30m N of a levelled possible ringfort (TN015-008). The site is not indicated on the OS 6-inch maps but appears as a circular cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDL 64). There is no visible trace of the site at ground level, however its location, size, shape and proximity to another possible ringfort suggest possible ringfort classification. 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).

Situated on ground sloping to the NE in lush meadow. Depicted on the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps as roughly circular in shape with a field boundary abutting the bank in at W and E, being incorporated in N half of site. An aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDL 64) shows the S half of the site levelled. The interior is very uneven, with a large hollow at N and the NW sector is heavily overgrown with scrub; no bank evident.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
