The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a natural rise, close to the W edge of a gradual fall, overlooking a valley at the base of the slope. The site consists of a flat central area (14.3m N-S; 15m E-W) enclosed by a compact earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.35-0.55m; ext. H 0.18-0.35m), less visible at S. An entrance gap (Wth 3m) is visible at ESE. There is a small standing stone (TN039-011002-) in the interior in the SW sector with a second stone (TN039-011003-) standing at the entrance at ESE, in line with the outer edge of the bank.
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.
