The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the crest of a low hill, in pasture. A roughly circular mound (base diam. 12.5m N-S; top diam. 7m; H 1.55m) enclosed by a U-shaped fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.5m). Whitethorns are growing on the summit and around the edge of the site. There may have been quarrying into the summit at some stage (though not in memory of present landowner) with upcast around the edge of the summit to the SE and SW. A large boulder lies prostate at the outer edge of the fosse at N.
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.
