Situated on a slight rise on a N-S ridge in gently undulating pasture-land. A platform (diam. 29m NW-SE) of earth and stone with a central mound, berm (Wth 2.5m) and fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.17m). Field-clearance debris up to 2m high along the edge of the site while the interior is covered by dumped wood and heavy scrub growth which greatly hindered inspection. Possible original bank in SE quadrant (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.26m; H above fosse 0.9m). The interior slopes with the natural topography to the E and W. Slight hollow at top of mound.
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.
