The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular area on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map with only the W half depicted on the latest ed. (1904). The site has been levelled but is visible as a very low, circular platform (diam. 33.5m N-S; 34m E-W; H 0.66m) with a concave interior. A cattle track transects the site from NE to SW. The site slopes gently to the exterior and a slight dip around the exterior may indicate a fosse.
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.
