- TN038-017 Enclosure
Description
Area now covered in forestry plantation. Site identified from GSI aerial photograph (R.281/0) taken in 1974. Doubtful antiquity Compiled by: Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
- TN038-022 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
Description
Situated on a knoll on the lower souther slopes of Mauherslieve in a forestry plantation. Two set stones and a large prostrate slab mark the site. The set stones are both aligned approximately NNE-SSW and are so disposed as to suggest that they might represent two close-set lines of walling. The prostrate slab is 1.35m to the S of these and measures 2.6m by 1.5m x 0.5m thick. It could be a displaced roofstone or a fallen septal-stone. The remains can be explained as the last vestiges of a wedge tomb but so scant are they that the true nature of the site must remain uncertain. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

- TN038-024 Field boundary
Description
In upland area on reclaimed grassland. Cropmark of rectangular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 40m E-W X 19m N-S) defined by a ditch visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery taken 2011-13. Depicted as a small field on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and not shown as an antiquity, probably the remains of post-1700 field or paddock. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2020
- TN039-012 Children's burial ground
Description
Situated on level ground at the base of a high natural scarp, overlooking a river valley to the NE. The Clasher River runs c. 2m NE of the site. An irregular, roughly circular enclosure (34.6 N-S; 34m E-W) in a level area between the river and the cliff-edge. The enclosure is defined by a denuded, moss-covered wall of earth and stone construction (Wth 1.3-2.1m; int. H 0.25-1m; ext. H 0.75-1m). There is a heavy growth of scrub in the NW quadrant. The site was described as 'disused keel' or children's burial ground in 1910 (Crawford 1910, 51), however, no grave-markers were apparent. A low linear mound (TN039-012001) in the SW quadrant, running NW-SE (L 6.1m x W 1.3m; H 0.4m), is constructed of earth and stone. It appears to be a section of a low field boundary and is not a megalithic structure. 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
