Situated on a NE-facing hillslope with a fast-flowing stream c. 20m to the SE at the base of a steep-sided river gorge. In the OS Name Books (c. 1840) there is reference to this ringfort (TN027-118001) being used as a burying ground, however there is no visible evidence of this usage.
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.
