- TN040-040001: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN040-040001-. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
- TN040-040002: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN040-040002-. 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. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

Situated in a prominent position on top of a hillock in upland pasture, with extensive views in all directions except upslope to NW. This site has been ploughed over but is still visible. It consists of a circular mound (diam 3.3m; H 0.08m) enclosed by a water-logged and silted fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.8; ext. H 0.2m) (overall diam. 16.1m N-S: 16m E-W). The outer bank is most denuded in the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

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.
