The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in rolling pastureland. Depicted on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure, the site is now levelled with no visible trace at groung level. It was described in 1955 as a circular area (diam. 28.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; H 1.5m) with slight traces of an external ditch (OPW files, 6.10.1955).
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.
