Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. Depicted on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure. The present remains consist of a raised area covered in dense vegetation defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.37m; ext. H 3.1m), which slopes gently to the interior and steeply to the exterior. The external face of the bank in the S and W sectors has been truncated. The bank, particularly the inner face, is less well preserved in the N sector. Foundations of a curving stone structure (L c. 13m; T 0.8m) c. 1m inside the inner face of the bank are also visible at N.
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.
