The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on fairly level ground, sloping very slightly to S at the edge of a bog which lies immediately to the S. The site is not marked on either the 1st (1840) or 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map but was identified on an aerial photograph taken in June 1973 (GSIAP, S 81/80) as a possible ring-barrow. The site has been levelled but is still clearly visible as a raised circular area (diam. 4.3m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.29m) and flattened external bank (int. H 0.44m) (overall diam. 10m N-S; 10.3m E-W). Some stone is evident in the bank. At E there is a possible causewayed entrance (Wth c. 2.6m).
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.
