What is recorded here
Situated on a slight break in a S-facing slope in pasture. A denuded bivallate ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam. 34.5m N-S; 33m E-W) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.13m; ext. H 1m), a U-shaped fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.43m) and outer bank (Wth 3.2m; ext. H 0.38m). Possible entrance in NE quadrant (Wth c. 2.5m) which appears to have been widened. The outer bank is not apparent along the NE quadrant - probably disturbed by adjacent NW-SE field boundary.
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.
