Recorded monuments
- TN010-079 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. A circular area (diam. 36m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1.3m) and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 1m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 4m) at NE. The site has been quarried at S destroying both bank and fosse and portion of the interior. 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
- TN010-080 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope in rolling pastureland. A Georgian house lies to the NW and the site is positioned beside the driveway approaching the house. It consists of a circular area (diam. c. 41m N-S; 40.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.8-1.15m; ext. H 1.2m) and V-shaped external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.8m) which is not visible at N. Three mature trees are growing in the NW quadrant, one oak, two beech, and the E portion (N through S) has been planted with hedgerow which acts as a field boundary. The location with respect to the house, avenue and probable tree-ring to S suggests that this is also a tree-ring, though possibly utilising an existing ringfort. 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).

Description
Situated in a hollow, sloping slightly to the E. The site is bisected by a townland boundary and the remains to the N of this boundary have been levelled.
