The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture, with a stream running through fosse at E from S to N. A rectangular-shaped area (c. 35m E-W; 47m N-S) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.77m; ext. H 2.4m), a wide, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 3m) and an outer bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 1.75m). The outer bank is most impressive at W and N. The interior slopes gently to the N. A leat cuts through the outer bank in the SW corner giving water access to fosse. The SE corner has been disturbed, the fosse being infilled at this point.
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.
