In the S half of Lough Duff, currently surrounded by marsh. Not indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map, this site appears on the latest ed. as a crescent-shaped area with a causeway leading to dry land. The present shape of the site is difficult to define - it may have been cut away for turf to some extent. It is a roughly oval-shaped raised area (dims. 16.83m N-S; c. 24.4m E-W; H 1m) overgrown with hummocky tufts of grass. There is no timber apparent. The causeway (TN021-084002), as depicted on the OS 6-inch map, extends WNW-ESE (L c. 90m; Wth 3m; H c. 0.3m).
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.
