The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating pasture. Two enlosures TN027-010 and TN027-011, both levelled, lie 100m to the NNW and WNW respectively. The site is depicted on both the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps and appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1968 (CUCAP, AVN 58). Although levelled, an oval rise (diam. 26m N-S; 21.5m E-W) indicates where the site stood.
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.
