The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of a SW-facing slope, under tillage. Depicted as a large, oval enclosure on both the 1st and 2nd eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Though levelled, the outline at E and S is visible as a broad, curving rise in the field (diam. c. 86m NE-SW; c. 90m NW-SE). The site was inspected in 1964 and was described as a small, irregularly shaped field with a 'fairly massive' straight bank on the E side (OPW file, 1964). An aerial photograph shows that by 1968 it had been levelled (CUCAP, AVN 63).
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.
