Situated midway down a SW-facing hillslope with a narrow river gorge at its base. A ringfort is visible on the opposite hill to the SW (TN029-002) and there is a nearby ringfort to the NE (TN023-049). A circular enclosure (diam. 28m N-S; 30m E-W) delimited by a low earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.71m; ext. H 0.86m) with rounded profile and a shallow, U-shaped external fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.3m) not visible at S. In the N sector the fosse appears to have been partially recut as it is more pronounced than elsewhere with a sharp profile (Wth 2m; D 0.68). A gap (Wth 1.3m) at S may represent an original entrance feature. The interior slopes gradually to the SW. An old disused trackway runs close to the NE sector of the site.
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.
