Situated on a SE-facing slope in a wooded area. A slightly oval-shaped enclosure enclosed by a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m), and a wide, deep, outer fosse (Wth 5.5m). A low, earthen bank, on an E-W axis, bisects the W half of the site. An internal stone feature at W forms a ramp up to the top of the bank and there is an entrance feature at E. The site has been planted with beech trees and was probably adapted slightly and reused as tree-ring. A rectangular enclosure (TN015-043002) identified on an aerial photograph taken in 1974 (GSIAP, R 192/3) adjoins the ringfort to the SE.
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.
