The National Monuments Service's description
Located on slight N-S ridge in undulating pastureland. Depicted as a circular enclosure on both the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps and on an aerial photograph taken in 1970 (CUCAP, BDL 59). The site is levelled but is still visible as an irregular-shaped platform (diam. c. 31m N-S). The ground slopes off to E and W.
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.
