Situated on an SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area with a nearby ringfort (TN028-080) to the SW. A well-preserved site consisting of a circular area (diam. 35m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone tree-lined bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m) with no entrance feature visible. Beech trees planted along the top of the bank and the depiction of the site on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map suggest that the site was used 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.
