The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural hillock in undulating countryside. A natural elongated rise of ground (dims. 42m E-W; 33m N-S; H 1-2m) defined by a scarp. The surface of the earthwork follows the natural contours of the hill sloping sharply from E to W. On the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map the earthwork is depicted as a oval-shaped platfrom type earthwork defined by a townland boundary at E and a field boundary from S through W to N. The latter field boundary is now destroyed and may be represented by the remains of the scarp enclosing the base of the hillock to the W.
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.
