The National Monuments Service's description
Located within an ecclesiastical enclosure (TN007-034001) which encloses the base of a hillock. At the top of the hill there is a circular grove of trees, within which there are a lot of stones protruding which is indicative of a children's burial ground. According to Cooke (1852-3, 54) a lot of human bones were found within this destroyed enclosure.
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.
