The National Monuments Service's description
Located on rock outcrop in an area of dense scrub. Discovered during land reclamation work in the 1950s when human bones were uncovered. A granite boulder with a possible bullaun (TN009-058002) was removed by a local farmer and dumped into a nearby field fence. According to Wheeler (OPW report 1957) this was the possible site of a Cillin or small Early Christian burial ground. No visible remains and the bullaun stone could not be found.
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.
