The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. A large circular area (diam. 30m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks with a wide, flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 3.3m; int. D 2-3.5m; D 1m) and an entrance gap (Wth 5.5m) at NE which has been widened. Upright orthostats protrude from the top of the inner bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 2-3m; ext. H 3m). The outer bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 0.7m) and fosse are destroyed at NE by a laneway. A modern lean-to shed is located in the centre of the ringfort.
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.
