What is recorded here
Situated on a SW-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Depicted on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly square-shaped enclosure, the site actually consists of a circular area (diam. 17.3m N-S; 16.6m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.25m) with loose stones scattered around the bank surface in the NE quadrant. No external fosse and no entrance feature visible.
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.
