Philip Purcell listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). All that remains are the low, barely discernible outline of scattered and confused earthen banks which may be easier to interpret from an aerial photograph. 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).

• TN035-090 Enclosure
  Description

  A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The N perimeter of the enclosure is visible on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a curve in a field boundary, with the E and W sides being partially incorporated in or truncated by a field boundary on either side running NNW-SSE. The S sector of the monument is not indicated though a field boundary to the S kinks out, either respecting the enclosure or indicating an outer bank or fosse. A limekiln is indicated in the NE quadrant of the enclosure. There was obviously some small scale quarrying to feed the limekiln and this is evident as a dark stain within the NE quadrant of the enclosure. On the 1903 revision OS 6-inch map the enclosure is indicated as a roughly rectangular area with the N and E quadrant hachured, the W perimeter is indicated as a field boundary and the S boundary as on the 1st ed. map.
