The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a W-facing slope in undulating pastureland with a church (TN047-027001) and graveyard (TN047-027003) immediately to the W. The field E of the church and graveyard contains a large range of low earthworks which are clearly visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, AOZ 82) however they do not form any definite pattern. On the ground a possible roadway (Wth 9m) and possible house platform (dims. 10.3m x 5m) were identified near the E boundary of the field. Aerial photograph (GB91.EO.36) shows extensive earthworks surrounding church and graveyard (Dr. G. Barrett 18 January 2011).
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.
