The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a W-facing slope just off the summit of a gently sloping hill. A poorly preserved site which has been levelled except for the S portion where the bank has been incorporated into a hedgerow. Originally the site consisted of a raised circular area (diam. 32.5m N-S; 35.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank, which has been reduced to a scarp, (H 0.36m) and an external fosse (Wth 4.6m). No other features visible.
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.
