The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight E-facing slope in rolling pastureland. Not indicated on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map and marked as possible mound at the W end of a small wooded enclosure on the 1903 ed. The site is now levelled and tree plantation has been cleared in favour of pasture. There is no visible trace of the site at ground level. Traces of a large curving bank are all that remains of the enclosing element of the plantation.
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.
