The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside. Depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular shaped platform type earthwork. Not indicated on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch maps. In 1976 the site was described as 'a shallow depression no more than 30cm deep. It lies immediately west of a farm trackway' (SMR File 1976). In 1976 it was recorded that the local landowner believed that this shallow depression was possibly a 'fort' (SMR File 1976). 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.
