Situated on a S-facing slope of rising ground with nearby tower house to S. Possible moated site visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, ATC 84) with nearby tower house (TN014-049002) to S. Described by FitzPatrick (1985, vol. 2, part 4, 18) as 'a large rectangular earthwork' (dims. 65m x 54m) with S, E and portion of the W bank surviving (H 0.5m; Wth 5m). The N boundary is obscured by a modern field boundary and there is a clearly distinguishable fosse (Wth c. 1m) outside the bank to the S and E (ibid.).
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.
