The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight NW-facing slope of rising ground overlooking a nearby stream to the N. The poorly preserved remains of a bivallate ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam. 20m N-S) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m). No entrance feature visible. The inner bank (Wth 2m; H 1m) is the best preserved while the outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.7m) is only visible at N and S, elsewhere it is destroyed. A field fence intersects the site at W destroying the outer bank.
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.
