The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a W-facing slope of rising ground with bogland immediately to the W. A large subcircular area (diam. 70m N-S; 76m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5-0.9m) with an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.6m) visible at NW only. Two gaps are visible, one at S which measures 25m wide is probably modern with the original entrance gap (Wth 5m) at SE (Stout 1984, 88).
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.
