The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NE-facing slope in undulating pastureland. A roughly circular area (diam. 33m NE-SW) enclosed by a stone wall, particularly substantial in the NE quadrant (H 1.4m; T c. 2m). The wall is composed of limestone rubble, the internal and external facing is obscured by collapsed masonry. A large uprooted tree occupies the centre of the site and ash trees are growing along the internal line of the wall.
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.
