The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just below the summit of a low hillock in an undulating upland area with a nearby ringfort (TN029-019) to the SW. A raised roughly circular platform (diam. 28m N-S) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) and outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) with no clear entrance feature visible (Stout 1984, 80).
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.
