The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very gentle E-facing slope in a flat valley, under pasture. The site has been levelled but is still clearly visible as a slightly raised circular area (diam. 27.4m N-S; 26.3m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.32m; ext. H 0.7m) with a possible entrance (Wth 3.4m) at N. Field boundaries leading up to SW and NE quadrants, as depicted on 1st ed. and current OS 6-inch maps, have been levelled.
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.
