Situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. The barely discernible outline of a poorly preserved bivallate enclosure consisting of a circular area (diam. 25m N-S approx.) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse. The outer bank (Wth 4m) is the best preserved and is partially destroyed by an old field fence which intersects the site at W on a N-S axis.
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.
