The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture. A raised, roughly circular area (diam. c. 35m N-S) enclosed by a high, steep bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.1m) and a wide, deep external fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 1.07-1.5m). The interior and fosse are heavily overgrown with brambles and scrub. The bank at N is quite denuded. A field/townland boundary extending NW-SE utilises the fosse of the ringfort. In the SE quadrant the counterscarp has been quarried away.
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.
