The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying area in very undulating, hillocky terrain. The site appears to utilise a natural hillock and consists of an oval mound (overall diam. 37m N-S; 42m E-W) enclosed by a berm (Wth 2.5m) and outer bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m). The central mound, which is less evident in the SE quadrant, rises 1.56m above the berm and is steepest at W where the berm is less evident. There is a small area of disturbance in the W sector with low heaps of grassed-over spoil. Some large boulders appear to be dumped on the site at NW. The site is transected at SE by a stone wall extending NE-SW.
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.
