A roughly circular area (diam. 31.5m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 3m; ext. H 1m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2.7m; D 0.54m) only visible at S. A gap in the bank in the SE quadrant (Wth 2.4m) may be the original entrance. The interior slopes to the NW and SE, sloping with the ridge. A NE-SW field boundary skirting the site at E has been removed. 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).

OS 6-inch map surrounded by a rectangular enclosure. On the 1953 ed. the site is depicted as an earthwork defined by a fosse. Surviving remains consist of an irregular platform (22m N-S; 19.5m E-W; H 0.9m) with a projection in the NW quadrant (8m x 9m). The platform is defined by a scarp and a wide, deep, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 1.16m). 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).
