The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight rise in a river valley with a stream flowing to the NE. A roughly circular site (diam. 35.5m N-S; 37.7m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.67m; ext. H 1.8m) and a wide, waterlogged fosse (Wth 4.9m; D 1.12m). The bank is cut into the rise in slope on the S side. The interior is rush filled, with scrub around the bank. Drainage gullies and a stream flow immediately SE of the site and the surrounding field is quite wet.

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.
