Located on a gradual SE-facing slope in rough meadow. A field boundary to the NW has been removed and the area (immediately NW of the ringfort) is used as a yard for old machinery. A roughly circular area (diam. 32.8m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a low bank (Wth c. 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.53m) which has been truncated and flattened. There is no bank at SE which may be the site of original entrance on the downslope side of the site and there is no visible evidence of an outer fosse. The interior, which slopes to the SE, is quite disturbed.
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.
