The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in flat pasture in an upland area with a nearby ringfort (TN025-018) to the SW. A circular area (diam. 30m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 1m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp, a wide fosse (Wth 5m) and an external bank (Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.4m). A dense cover of vegetation made examination of the site impossible.
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.
