Situated on a natural rise in undulating pastureland with a nearby church (TN017-042) to the NE and a tower house (TN017-033) to the NNE. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.52m; ext. H 1.42m) visible at W only. No visible trace of an external fosse. The interior is raised following the natural rise of the hillock. There is a bullaun stone (1985) in the interior 0.8m from the S bank.
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.
