Situated on an E-W ridge in undulating countryside with extensive views. A circular slightly raised area (diam. 29m E-W) defined by a scarp and enclosed by a partial possible inner fosse (Wth 2-5m: D 0.5m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.8m) with possible causewayed entrance gap (Wth 3m) at SE (Stout 1984, 22-3). This is a ringfort which utilises a natural low hillock which has been scarped and enclosed at its base resulting in an elevated interior. There is some evidence of quarrying at E. The site was classified as a ring-barrow in the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin (Stout 1984, 22-3).
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.
