Recorded monuments
- TN026-032 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a W-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. Impossible to gain access or examine site due to dense cover of vegetation. 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
- TN026-033 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on the NW-facing slope of a natural hill in an upland area. A raised D-Shaped area (diam. 23m E-W) with straight side at E (L 24m approx.) enclosed by three earth and stone banks with intervening fosses. The inner bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3m) and its corresponding fosse (Wth 3m; D 1.5m) are the best preserved. The middle bank (Wth 2.3m; ext. H 1.5m) has been altered by the construction of a berm around the inner face of the bank which may be contemporary with the hazel plantation which covers the ringfort. The third bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3m) is also planted with hazel trees and is difficult to examine as a result. No entrance feature visible.
