Situated on high ground in an upland area with a possible cairn (TN026-020002) immediately to the NE and overlooking a ringfort (TN026-021) also to the NE. An oval-shaped area (diam. 27m N-S; 21m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.75m) with a modern gap (Wth 7m) at E and possible original entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SE. No visible trace of a fosse. The exposed location of this site is unusual for a ringfort and it may only have been used as a booley 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.
