Recorded monuments

• TN040-040001 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated in flat terrain on a valley floor in poorly drained land, under pasture. A roughly circular ring-barrow (diam. 19.1m N-S; 17.8m E-W) consisting of a circular mound (diam 10.7m; 0.42m H) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 2-2.5m; D 0.37m) and outer bank (Wth 1.5m at crest, 3.7m at base; ext. H 0.31m). The mound has a central depression probably due to cattle erosion. A standing stone (TN040-040002) lies prostrate in the fosse at W and the outer bank is not visible at this point. Some stone protrudes from the central mound. According to local tradition this is the burial site of the 'Great Dane' and was part of the 'Jewel of Dane' estate. The fosse and central depression become waterlogged in the winter. 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).

• TN040-040002 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated in flat terrain on a valley floor in poorly drained pastureland. A collapsed standing stone (L 1.96m; dims. 0.56m x 0.45m) which lies partially embedded in the fosse of a ring-barrow (TN040-040001) in the W quadrant. There are deep linear scores on both exposed corners. The third corner, which is partially embedded, doesn't appear to have any markings. The lines do not conform to ogham script, however, in the nineteenth century there were incidences of standing stones being scored with false 'ogham script' to confound antiquarians (pers. comm. F. Moore). The stone was standing in recent memory according to local information. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
