The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a break in the SE-facing lower slope of a hill in undulating pasture. A roughly rectangular earthen mound (H 2.15m; base dims. 21m x 15.5m; top dims. 15.5m x 10.3m) which tapers towards the NE side with a deep central depression (D 1.23m). The mound is fairly steep-sided, particularly along the SW side and at the NW corner. It is badly disturbed by quarrying in the centre. No outer fosse or defences 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.
