The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a ridge aligned NW-SE with a steep drop to the SW and NE. According to the Ikerrin Survey the site was levelled in the 1970s (Stout 1984, 75). A suggestion of a bank remains at N, otherwise not visible at ground level.
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.
