Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground on poorly drained land in an upland area with an earthwork site (TN022-053) to the N. A heavily overgrown circular area (diam. 25m E-W) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with a wide, waterlogged intervening fosse (Wth 4-8m; D 0.7m) which appears to have been widened to accommodate drainage channels. A gap (Wth 9m) in the outer and inner bank at SW may be the original entrance feature. The outer bank (Wth 2.2-9m; ext. H 0.6m) is best preserved and appears to have been widened and altered by a drainage scheme on the surrounding land.
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.
