The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the NW slope of a low NW-SE ridge in undulating countryside. A circular area (diam. 36m NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1-1.5m) reduced to a scarp in places especially at SW where natural rock outcrop protrudes from the surface of the scarp. There are slight traces of a shallow external fosse and a possible causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at NW. A field fence traverses the site on an E-W axis.
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.
