Testing was undertaken at Garranacanty, Tipperary town, in accordance with planning permission to construct a mixed-use development consisting of housing, an associated neighbourhood centre, retail units and apartments. A possible enclosure, visible as a cropmark, lay within the boundary of the proposed development, with two further RMP listings located in adjacent fields to the east. Testing of available parts of the site failed to identify archaeological evidence for the possible enclosure. Variable glacial drift geology could have resulted in the cropmark anomalies visible on aerial photographs. Drainage ditches, land drains and a cobbled surface, all associated with recent agricultural usage, were also recorded.
