The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a low rise of ground with extensive views and a nearby cashel (TN008-042) to the NW. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 28m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.4m) with no evidence of an entrance feature. A drystone wall three courses high (H 0.5m) protruding from the top of the bank survives at SW only. A field fence intersects the site at E on a N-S axis.
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.
