The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise of ground in an upland area with a partially destroyed ringfort (TN026-028) nearby to the NE. The barely discernible outline of a destroyed ringfort (diam 40m approx.) defined by a low earth and stone bank in a field of tillage. Probably levelled by a land improvement scheme in the 1960s.
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.
