The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat pasture in an upland area. A well-preserved moated site consisting of a raised square platform (dims. 30m x 30m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.5m) with a wide, flat-bottomed, waterlogged fosse (Wth 6m; D 2.3m) and possible traces of an outer bank. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 2.8m) midway along the SE side. A stone wall (T 0.9m) along the SE side of the entrance may indicate a stone bridge.
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.
