The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope in a wet, marshy area, under pasture, with ringfort (TN015-092001) c. 10m to the SW. A possible large circular enclosure (diam. c. 90m) identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, R 95/4). According to local information there was once a vegetable garden in this area; the field has since been drained. Not 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.
