The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S-facing slope of a natural hillock just below the brow of a hill in undulating countryside with a nearby enclosure site (TN036-006) to the N. A large circular area (diam. 73m NE-SW; 61m NW-SE) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1-2m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp with an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1.5m) from W to N only, elsewhere destroyed. No entrance feature visible. A small cairn (H 0.5m; diam. 4m) possibly the result of the construction of a trig. station is built into the SW face of the ringfort.
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.
