## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- TN021-034: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN021-034----. Situated just below the crest of a rise on ground sloping to the SE. A large circular area (diam. 90m N-S; 88m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.96m), a wide U-shaped fosse (Wth 6m) and an outer bank (Wth 4m; int. H 2.73m; ext. H 1.35m). Causewayed entrances are located at SW (Wth 3.6m) and SE (Wth 3m) - the latter does not appear to be original as the outer bank is partially intact. The outer bank has been planted with mature beeches and is much denuded at S and SW. A deep channel (Wth c. 2m; L c. 11m) cuts through the outer bank at SW. 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
- TN021-036: Castle - motte and bailey, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTN021-036----. Situated in undulating pastureland, sloping gently to the NE. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) surrounded by a broad depression indicating a possible internal fosse (Wth c. 11.5m) and a flat area with outer bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.92m) and wide, deep, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 7.6m; D 0.9m). There are traces of stone revetment on the counterscarp at N and W. The outer bank and fosse are levelled at SE. Gaps in the outer bank at SSW and NNE are the result of bulldozing. According to the landowner this activity revealed a small stone-lined chamber (L c. 1.2m), orientated E-W, under the bank at NNE. A small circular mound (diam. at base c. 18m; H 2.5m) abutting the bank at NW appears to have been disturbed on top (13.2m N-W; c. 8.7m E-W). The top of the bank running out from the base of the motte is only slightly lower than the top of the motte. A modern house immediately SE utilises the site as a garden and it has been partly landscaped as a result. This is a possible ringfort (diam. 54.8m NE-SW) modified to form the bailey for a small motte which has been inserted in the NW 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
