The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a ridge. An estate map by J. Grace of 1772 depicts a feature called the 'White Stone' on this hillside which may have been a standing stone (MS NLI 21.F.129, Castleotway Estate Maps). Not indicated on the 1st or 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map. No visible remains. The hill is now planted with young forestry with drainage ditches running downslope.
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.
