The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. 48.6m N-S; 45.6m E-W) enclosed by a high bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.2) which falls steeply to an outer fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.6m). There is an entrance in the SE quadrant (Wth 4.3m) with boulders at the base of the bank. In the N and SW sectors the bank has been truncated externally and earth and boulders have been dumped in the fosse at N.
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.
