The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a flat marshy river valley. The river is nearby to the E and a fast-flowing stream runs along the base of the site in the NE quadrant. A long, low earthen mound (dims. 67m ENE-WSW; 17.7m SSE-NNW) defined by a low, broad bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.23m; ext. H 2.3m), a fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) and a possible outer bank visible at S (Wth 4.4m; ext. H 0.46m) though this may be the remains of a field boundary. The interior is heavily overgrown with scrub.
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.
