The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside. Depicted as a small irregular-shaped earthwork, possibly indicated as a quarry face on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map, not indicated on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch maps. 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.
