The National Monuments Service's description
Located on an E-facing slope of a ridge in pastureland. Two ringforts (TN015-016 and TN015-017) are visible over the brow of the hill to the NNW. A circular area (diam. 36m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1m), particularly broad in the W sector, a fosse (Wth 3.9m) with outer bank (Wth 1.9m), which has been disturbed in the NE quadrant. A circular stone structure (diam. 7.5m) is centrally placed in the interior, with stone foundations surviving (T c. 1m) and there is a possible entrance in the SW quadrant.
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.
