The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. According to the OS Letters the interior of the ringfort (TN026-043001) was used as a burial place for unbaptised infants (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 121). It was impossible to examine the site interior due to the dense cover of vegetation.
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.
