Located on the NE-facing slope of a hill, just off the summit in rolling terrain. A circular site (diam. 40m N-S; 36.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.56m; ext. H 0.87m) with no outer fosse visible. Some outcrop protrudes in the interior. A break in the bank downslope in the NW quadrant (Wth 6m) may be remains of an original entrance, though widened. An oval mound of stones (dims. 7.1m x 5m; H 0.5m), grassed over, near the centre of the interior, appears to be dumped field clearance material. A concrete post and pail fence transects the SW quadrant on a NW-SE axis. The bank in the E sector has been destroyed by limited quarrying which extended slightly into the interior and occupies the immediate area outside the bank.
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.
