The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on ground sloping gradually to the SE in a sheltered area with a small hillock immediately to the NW and rising ground to the NE and SW. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st and current eds. of the OS 6-inch map. The site appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, R 92/91). Remains of the fosse are discernible in the SE quadrant as a slight dip where the grass is greener and nettles are more abundant. No other remains visible at ground level.
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.
