Situated on a steep E-facing slope in pasture, off the brow of a hill. A circular area (diam. 24.7m N-S; 24.5m E-W) defined by a bank of clay and gravel (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.1m) and a fosse visible in the NW quadrant only (Wth 3.6m; D 0.42m). There is a possible entrance gap (Wth c. 3.5m) at NW. The interior slopes steeply to E following the line of the slope. A trackway skirts the monument along from NE to S to W. Larch trees grow on the inner and outer edges of the bank and according to the landowner these were planted c. 50 years ago. This site may have been reused as a tree-ring.
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.
