Situated 580m N of Kilcolman House on its demesne lands, standing on a low natural hillock in undulating countryside. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a square-shaped tree-plantation of post-1700 date and not as an antiquity. On the revised 1901 ed. OS 25-inch map this plantation is depicted as a polygonal-shaped enclosure. An elongated hillock which has been scarped and enclosed by a stone wall visible only by its wall-footings with slight traces of a shallow external fosse. Halfway along the earthwork a deep trench aligned NW-SE (Wth 3m; D 1m) traverses the site. Natural rock outcrop protrudes from the surface of the hillock. A possible landscape feature associated with Kilcolman House. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
