Situated on a steep NW-facing terrace in pasture. Not indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and shown as a small oval mound or enclosure on the latest ed. The site (approx. overall diam. c.18.5m) has been built into the hillslope, utilising the steep NW slope to give a defensive appearance to the site on this side. The site comprises a platform with only portion of a low, broad bank surviving at E (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) and no visible enclosing fosse. The interior and SE portion are heavily overgrown with brambles and scrub. The platform is composed of clay with stone protruding from the base.
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.
