The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the gentle E-facing slope of a low rise of ground in undulating countryside with a nearby enclosure (TN035-019) to the S. A poorly preserved site consisting of a circular area (diam. 32.5m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1-1.5m) and external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m) both of which are only visible from N through E to S where the bank survives as a field fence. The enclosing features are elsewhere destroyed.
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.
