The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a NW-facing slope off the crest of a hill, in undulating hilly terrain with a standing stone (66) c. 100m upslope to the W. A circular area (diam. 39.8m N-S; 42m E-W) defined by a low, very denuded earthen bank with some stone evident (Wth 1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.76m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.9m; D 0.35m). The fosse is not visible upslope in the SE quadrant. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.9m) in NW sector. The site was reused as a tree-ring and there is a small coniferous plantation in the interior of the site.
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.
