The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the upper slope of a NE-facing hill in undulating terrain, in rough pasture. Another ringfort (TN023-021) is visible c.300m to the NW. A circular area (diam. 32m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.36m) and shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.28m) with entrance gap (Wth 2.3m) at E. There is no evidence of the fosse at E though it appears to have been visible at the time of the Ikerrin Survey (Stout 1984, 54). Lots of spoil heaps of clay (H 0.5-0.7m) have been dumped in the interior which slopes to the NE with the hillslope.
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.
