Situated on crest of hill. 'Turret' is a square, gazebo-type feature (L 5.7m) composed of roughly coursed rubble limestone. Entrance in E wall at ground floor level. Ground floor lit by narrow, single-light windows with splayed ingoings centrally placed in N, S and W walls. Small put-logs survive in E wall to support a wooden floor. First floor has rectangular window opes in centre of N, S and E walls, the W wall is mostly destroyed at this level. No roof survives. Brick infill used to block bottom of N and S window opes. Alcove on either side of ope in E wall. Some internal plaster survives. The crest of hill on which this building stands is flat, with some small quarry hollows. There are low remains of very denuded stone wall (W c.2m) E of the 'turret', roughly level with interior and falls off downslope. There is a lot of outcrop protruding all around the site, not forming any defineable line. Just off the crest there is a slight lip formed of loose stones on N side (H c.1.2m). S side of hill is overgrown with gorse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
- TN014-016: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN014-016----. Situated in flat pastureland in the grounds of Lisduff House. A raised circular area (diam. 32.3m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.17m) and a deep, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.53m) with a causewayed entrance (Wth 3.6m) at NE. There have been recent attempts to build up a causeway in the W sector with small stones and earth. A large number of deciduous trees - beech, horse-chestnut and ash, grow on the bank. The site may have been reused as a tree-ring. 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).

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.
