The National Monuments Service's description
On a natural rise overlooking the Suir river valley. The River Aherlow meets the Suir immediately below Ballydrehid House (TS075-027003-). A roughly rectangular earthwork defined by scarp is depicted on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. map immediately NE of the house. This is a landscape feature, contemporary with the 18th-century house, where the natural height of the hill was accentuated to create a lawn in front of the house.
