The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a very gentle SW-facing slope in gently undulating lush pastureland. The site was levelled c. 13 years ago but is still visible as a raised oval area (diam. 39.2m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a gradually sloping scarp (H 1.07m) and a very shallow outer fosse (Wth c. 4m). No visible trace of an entrance feature.

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.
