The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural hillock in an upland area. A semicircular area (diam. 24m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1-1.7m) which is intersected at W by an old field fence. The interior and bank is planted with conifer trees which is suggestive of a landscape feature (Stout 1984, 58-9).
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.
