The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just below the summit of a low hillock on a S-facing slope in undulating countryside. A heavily overgrown site consisting of a raised circular area (diam. 28m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.7m) and an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.6m) with no clear entrance feature visible.
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.
