A slightly raised circular area (diam. 27m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m) mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1m) and an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at E. A field fence intersects the fosse at E.
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.
