The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope, adjacent to Drish River which flows to the W of the site, in pasture. Depicted as a roughly oval enclosure defined by trees/outcrop on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1952-3 ed. where outcrop is indicated in this vicinity. The area is used as a dump with mounds of rubble among some scrub and the ground is very uneven. Barn/sheds have been built on or near the NE quadrant of the site. Not visible at ground level. Of doubtful antiquity.
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.
