The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a hill, in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1843) and current (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps with a NE-SW road truncating the NW quadrant. The site has been levelled but the curve of the NW quadrant is evident in the field boundary along the road. The estimated diameter is c. 30m based on the projected curve of the field boundary. A possible slight fosse is evident 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.
