Situated in a low-lying position surrounded by a marsh. A subcircular area which is heavily overgrown with scrub and vegetation delimited by a shallow fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m). Depicted on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a tree covered, roughly D-shaped platform-type earthwork with rounded corners while on the latest ed. it is outlined externally with internal hachures. Described on field inspection in 1980 as 'an approx. circular, flat area [diam. 41m] demarcated by a very wide and low earthen bank feature with a water-filled fosse outside. No internal features. No causeway or entrance visible. Fosse widens at S' (OPW files, 1980). A similar site was excavated by Hartnett at Inchigaggin in Co. Cork in the 1940s and was found to be an augmented natural platform with evidence of three hearths and a variety of finds including flints, lead, glass, iron slag and glazed pottery of seventeenth century date onwards (Power et al. 1994, 72). Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
