The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SW-facing slope of a hill in pasture. Not indicated on 1the st ed. OS 6-inch map and only the N half is depicted on the latest ed. A univallate ringfort consisting of an oval-shaped area (diam. 31.2m N-S; 27.2m E-W) defined by a broad, flat bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) and a wide, U-shaped fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.45m). A break in the bank in the SW quadrant (Wth 5.4m) may be the remains of an entrance. Part of bank has been dug into in the NE quadrant.
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.
