Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in undulating pastureland. An enclosure (diam. 30m) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.42m), a berm (Wth c. 7m) and an external bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.95m). The site is quite overgrown, particularly around the edge of the outer bank and the E half of the inner bank. There is a possible fosse (Wth 2.5m) visible only at S and W where the field boundary runs concentrically with the site. This may be a field ditch. The inner enclosure is clearly visible on an aerial photograph taken in June 1973 (GSIAP, S 466/7).
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.
