Situated on an E-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. A circular area (diam. 35m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.5m) with an entrance gap (Wth 2.6m) at E. A field fence intersects the fosse at W and N.
In 2002 archaeological monitoring by Tara O'Neill on a residential development site located south and south-east the ringfort, revealed no archaeological features or deposits of archaeological significance. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 01E18140 (Bennett 2004, 477).
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.
