Situated on top of a natural hill in undulating countryside. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 24m N-S) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with a wide intervening fosse (Wth 4m) and a causewayed entrance (Wth 5m) at ENE. The inner bank has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1.5m) while the outer bank with its external stone-facing appears to be a nineteenth-century feature. This ringfort was probably converted into a tree-ring in the nineteenth century.
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.
