Situated on a SW-facing slope in pastureland. A raised circular area (diam. 38m NE-SW) defined by a denuded earth and stone bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.8m). The site is partially damaged by bull-dozer activity, particularly at E. Scrub growing around the edge of the site has been bull-dozed into the fosse. The interior, sloping to SW, is overgrown with scrub at N and E. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2m) in the NE quadrant, though the gap is quite narrow and the corresponding causeway may be the result of more recent backfilling. A field bank and ditch, on a NE-SW axis, abuts the fosse at SW.
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.
