Indicated

Situated on an E-facing slope in undulating pasture. A circular area (diam. 22.8m N-S; 21.4m E-W; H 0.68m) surrounded by a fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.7m) and outer bank (Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.75m). A large conglomerate boulder lies on the central mound at SW partially resting on small stones. It may have been dumped here, but is certainly there as long as the landowner remembers. The outer bank is planted with larch trees and it is likely that the site was reused as a tree-ring for Bantis House which is located to the NE. 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).

A Neolithic ring barrow, c. 2500–2000 BCE, characterised by its circular enclosure with fosse and bank, typical of ceremonial or funerary monuments of the period. Its construction reflects early communal organisation and ritual practices in the British Isles.
