H 0.3-1m; ext. H 1.5-2m) poorly preserved at N with a gap (Wth 1.7m) in the bank at E. Possible wall-footings of a rectangular house site (dims. 2.5m E-W x 3.3m N-S) in SW sector of interior. The fosse around the site appears to have been filled in and was waterlogged at time of visit. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
