The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gradual NE slope, just below the crest of a hill, in pasture. A circular area (diam. 24.6m N-S; 25.6m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.3m) and narrow, deep, steep-sided flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.8m; D 1.3m). The interior slopes slightly to the NE and is planted with larch trees, some on the bank. There is also scrub along the external face of the bank in the W half. A gap in the bank (Wth 1.4m) at NE may be the original entrance feature.
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.
