The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on ground sloping to the NE in lush meadow. Depicted on the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps as roughly circular in shape with a field boundary abutting the bank in at W and E, being incorporated in N half of site. An aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDL 64) shows the S half of the site levelled. The interior is very uneven, with a large hollow at N and the NW sector is heavily overgrown with scrub; no bank evident.
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.
