Situated on flat pasture in an upland area. A well-preserved but overgrown bivallate ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam. 40m approx.) enclosed by two earth and stone banks separated by an intervening fosse (Wth 3m; D 1m) with a wide external fosse (Wth 2.8-3.5m; D 0.5m). The inner bank is mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.7m) and the outer bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 1.7m) is faced with stone in places. The dense cover of vegetation makes detailed examination imposssible. No entrance feature visible.
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.
