Situated on a NW-SE ridge on a NE slope of rising ground in a mountainous region. A circular area (diam. 45m NW-SE; 38m E-W) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.8m). The inner bank (Wth 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m; int. H 0.8m) is the best preserved while the outer bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 0.8m), visible from N through E to S, is elsewhere destroyed. A townland boundary bisects the site on a NE-SW axis. Quarry holes are scattered around the interior of the ringfort.
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.
