The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NE-facing slope in undulating pastureland; the site encloses a natural hillock. A roughly circular area (diam. 70.5m N-S; 64m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.8m), a fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 1m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.6m; ext. H 1.2m). The natural hillock is enclosed in the S half of the site while the N half is level. A gap in the bank at SW (Wth 10m) provides access for farm machinery.
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.
