The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating pasture just off the summit of a low hill on an E-facing slope. The ground also slopes quite steeply outside the outer bank at W. A slightly oval area (diam. 36m N-S; 41.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.26m; ext. H 1.38m) which is quite denuded. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 2.7m) at NE but no clearly definable fosse although there is a slight dip at the base of the bank at S. A pathway has been cut through the W sector and the NW sector has been quarried into.
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.
