The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the crest of a rise in undulating terrain, with Castlelough House 450m to the N and the shoreline of Lough Derg 130m to the W. Depicted as a tree-ring and not as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch. The map depiction and the close proximity to Castlelough House would suggest that this was a tree-ring. 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.
