Situated just below the crest of a rise on ground sloping to the SE. A large circular area (diam. 90m N-S; 88m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.96m), a wide U-shaped fosse (Wth 6m) and an outer bank (Wth 4m; int. H 2.73m; ext. H 1.35m). Causewayed entrances are located at SW (Wth 3.6m) and SE (Wth 3m) - the latter does not appear to be original as the outer bank is partially intact. The outer bank has been planted with mature beeches and is much denuded at S and SW. A deep channel (Wth c. 2m; L c. 11m) cuts through the outer bank at SW. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
