Wth 20m). The overall diameter of the site measures approx. 84m E-W and there is a possible destroyed entrance gap at NW. The outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 2m; int. H 0.5m) is destroyed by a modern road from NW to N. The interior of the site was inaccessible at time of visit. 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).
