The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a S-facing slope on a gentle rise in very undulating terrain with a possible ringfort (TN047-076) to the S. Depicted on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure but not indicated on subsequent 1952-3 ed. The site has been levelled but is barely visible as a roughly raised circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by a gently sloping scarp (H 0.36m). No visible trace of the site E of the field boundary.
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.
