The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a break in a NE-facing slope in hilly terrain with quite a steep decline to the NE; another ringfort (TN023-023) is visible c. 300m to the SE. Forestry has been planted 12m SW of the site and a new forestry road has been built 6m S of the site. A D-shaped enclosure (dims. 19.4m NE-SW; 16.6m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.32m; ext. H 0.84-1.34m) and flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 1.4-1.6m; D 0.36m) which looks very fresh, particularly at W. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 1.4m) in the SE quadrant.
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.
