Situated on level ground at the base of a high natural scarp, overlooking a river valley to the NE. The Clasher River runs c. 2m NE of the site. An irregular, roughly circular enclosure (TN039-012) in a level area between the river and the cliff-edge. The enclosure is defined by a denuded, moss-covered wall of earth and stone construction. There is a heavy growth of scrub in the NW quadrant. The site was described as 'disused keel' or children's burial ground in 1910 (Crawford 1910, 51), however, no grave-markers were apparent. A low linear mound in the SW quadrant, running NW-SE (L 6.1m x W 1.3m; H 0.4m), is constructed of earth and stone. It appears to be a section of a low field boundary and is not a megalithic structure. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
