What is recorded here
Situated in undulating countryside on a natural hillock which has been scarped to form a possible ringfort. Present remains consist of a roughly circular area (diam. NW-SE 41m) defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank which has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1-2m) from N through E to S where it survives as a field fence, elsewhere it has been destroyed.
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.
