The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a hillock in an upland area. A raised circular area (diam. 27m NW-SE) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m) best visible at NE, elsewhere mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1.5m at NW-3m at SE). A possible external fosse at SE is intersected by a modern road on a NE-SW axis and there is a possible ramped entrance gap (Wth 3m) 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.
