The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SW-facing slope of a ridge in tillage. The N half of the site consists of an earthen bank incorporated into a field boundary (Wth c. 2.5m; H c. 1.4m), while the S half of the site is levelled. A possible fosse at S is indicated by a slight dip in the ground and a cropmark in the corn. The line of the fosse suggests a possible bivallate ringfort (int. diam. N-S 33m; overall diam. c. 48m).
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.
