The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just below the summit of a hill on a steep SW-facing slope, in pastureland with another possible enclosure site (TN039-025002) c. 20m to the NE. Identified on an aerial photograph taken in April 1974 (GSIAP, R 362/1). Not visible at ground level. A raised curving area roughly in the NW portion of the site may represent the flattened remains of a bank, however, the field is full of slight undulations which may be misleading.
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.
