The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A circular area (diam. 35m N-S; 41m E-W) enclosed by very steep-sided bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 1.17; ext. H 2.05) with no external fosse with an entrance gap (Wth 3.3m) at E. A folly or gazebo, consisting of a ruinous small two-storey stone tower (possibly three originally) is located c. 8m NE of the entrance to the enclosure. The interior is occupied by elderberry trees, with large trees around the bank. Possible tree-ring.
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.
