The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the N-facing slope of a ridge just below the summit in undulating pastureland. The site has been levelled but is still visible as a slight oval rise (dims. 40m N-S; 32m E-W). The fosse (Wth 1.4m) is evident at N as a slight dip with lusher, greener grass. There is a break (Wth 5.8m) in the fosse also at N. The interior undulates gently and some small incidents of quarrying have occurred.
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.
