The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the N end of a gentle ridge in an otherwise flat valley, under pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map with field boundaries incorporated in the S and W sectors. The enclosure is not marked on the current (1904) ed. although the southern portion is indicated by a kink in the field boundary. The site has been levelled (approx. diam. 33m) but the kink in the earth and stone field bank remains.
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.
