This modest enclosure, measuring just over 6 metres on each side, sits within striking distance of a ringfort 20 metres to the southwest and a ring-barrow 20 metres to the southeast. The site’s boundaries are defined by a low earthen scarp, about 60 centimetres wide and 20 centimetres high, accompanied by a shallow ditch at its base and a slight external bank that brings the overall width to 1.7 metres.

The enclosure’s northern edge has been incorporated into a modern field boundary that runs from west-southwest to east-northeast, whilst the interior remains level and free from overgrowth. What makes this site particularly intriguing is its relationship to the surrounding landscape; it appears to have been deliberately integrated into a pre-existing field system, with ancient field boundaries curving around it at a respectful distance of 8 metres to the northeast and running parallel just 4 metres from its western edge.

This type of small, moated enclosure is relatively uncommon in the Irish archaeological record and likely dates from the medieval period. The careful positioning amongst other monuments and its integration with the field system suggests this was no isolated feature but part of a complex, multi-period landscape where different generations left their mark. The site was documented by archaeologist Jean Farrelly and added to the archaeological record in August 2011, preserving details of this subtle yet significant piece of Tipperary’s ancient heritage.
