Recorded monuments

• TN027-069 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture. A roughly square-shaped enclosure (dims. 28.7m N-S; 25.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 1.41m; ext. H 1m) and by a deep wide fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 1.28m) at S. A shallow fosse remains on the W side but there is no fosse on the N and E sides. The fosse, where evident, is not waterlogged. There are indications of possible cultivation ridges in the interior which slopes to the N. Apart from its straight sides this site would fit comfortably into a ringfort classification based on its typical sloping location. 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).

The site has been levelled but the curve of the NW quadrant is evident in the field boundary along the road. The estimated diameter is c. 30m based on the projected curve of the field boundary. A possible slight fosse is evident in the NE quadrant. 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).
