The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slightly raised area on a NE-facing slope in tillage, c. 30m N of a levelled possible ringfort (TN015-008). The site is not indicated on the OS 6-inch maps but appears as a circular cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDL 64). There is no visible trace of the site at ground level, however its location, size, shape and proximity to another possible ringfort suggest possible ringfort classification.
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.
