The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on an E-facing slope in undulating pasture on a low natural rise of ground. The site consists of an irregular oval area (diam. 93m N-S; 75.3m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 1.32m; ext. H 0.8m), with a smaller internal enclosure (diam. 31.5m N-S) on the summit of a rise defined by a stone bank/low wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.42m). Part of this internal feature is visible on an aerial photograph (Ordnance Survey 0368) where it is depicted as straight wall/bank. This may be an eighteenth/nineteenth-century landscape feature depicted on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval area defined by a ring of trees and field 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.
