What is recorded here
Situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous region. Only the S portion of the enclosing bank survives where it is incorporated into a field fence. Elsewhere the barely discernible outline of a large bivallate enclosure (diam. approx. 55m) is visible (Stout 1984, 61).
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.
