Description
Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside with a stream nearby to the N. Outlined as a subrectangular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map. No visible remains at ground level. 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).

- TN010-083 Enclosure
Description
Situated just below the summit of a hill on a N-facing slope. Depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a large circular enclosure with no evidence of any woodland planted inside the enclosure. A large circular area (diam. 100m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.3m) with slight traces of a shallow external fosse. No evidence of an entrance feature. Dense vegetation cover made detailed examination of the site difficult. Described as an area of woodland enclosed by a modern bank of no archaeological significance (OPW file, 1957). 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).

- TN010-112 Enclosure
Description
Situated on the S edge of Scohaboy Bog. Site not indicated on 1st or 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map. On the 1st ed. the area is open bog while on the 2nd (1903) ed.small fields are depicted running up to the enclosure possible. Site identified, post inventory fieldwork, by Eamon Cody and Paul Walsh (pers. comm.). Unable to locate any enclosure in area marked on latest ed. OS 6-inch map, area of cut-away bog is an unlikely location for an enclosure. 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).
