Situated on a low hillock in undulating pastureland on the S edge of a ridge overlooking the Drish river valley to the E. Only the S half of a semicircular enclosure survives (dims. c.15m N-S; 42.5m E-W) defined by a scarp as depicted on the 1st (1843) and 1952-3 ed. OS 6-inch map. Originally the site consisted of a larger semicircular enclosure utilising the river valley as a defensive element on the E side. An E-W earth and stone field boundary intersects the site probably destroying the N portion. The site is quite heavily overgrown with scrub.
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.
