The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope of a hill in undulating pastureland. A circular area (diam. 18.5m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.75m) and a wide, shallow fosse (Wth 3.4m; D 0.2m) visible only at N. The site is in poor condition and is bisected by an earthen bank with stone facing extending E-W. The bank is overgrown with thorn bushes, particularly on the S side where the bank acts as a field boundary.
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.
