- TN041-047 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a SE-facing slope in undulating pastureland. An oval area (diam. 39m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by a broad, wide earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.87m; ext. H 1.5m) surmounted by mature beech trees with some trees also in the interior. There is a small coniferous plantation in the SE quadrant where the bank has been disturbed. No evidence of an external fosse. In the NE quadrant a modern shed has been built up against the external face of the bank. A portion of the bank at NW (L c. 8m) and another at W (L c. 5m) has been levelled and it is possible that either may have contained the original entrance. The wall of a concrete yard containing a farm building abuts the external face of the bank in the S-SW sector where the external ground level may have been lowered. The interior is cattle poached and was overgrown with nettles at the time of inspection. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
