The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of a hill on a slight break in slope, in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map with a field boundary along the SW quadrant. On the 1904 ed. the NE quadrant of the site is not depicted. The site has been levelled with no visible trace surviving at ground level.
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.
