Description
Situated on a NW-facing slope in undulating pastureland. The SW portion is close to a steep drop in the slope. A large enclosure (diam. 42.7m N-S; 38.2m E-W) defined by a compact earthen bank (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.86m; ext. H 1.2m), quite denuded at N and W.

The bank has a sharp profile with stone protruding from the surface and there is a possible entrance gap (Wth 2m) in the S sector. No visible trace of an enclosing fosse. 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).

- TN017-005 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a fairly steep NW-facing slope in undulating, hilly pastureland. The site appears as an oval enclosure on an aerial photograph taken in 1974 (GSIAP, S 543/3). Described (OPW files, 1965) as a 'sub-rectangular area bounded by very insignificant bank and fosse, not a ring-fort'. The site was bulldozed in 1978 (Stout 1984, 45). Not visible at ground level. 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).

Description
Situated on a break in a gentle NW-facing slope in undulating hilly pastureland. A circular ringfort (diam. 30.7m N-S; 30.4m E-W) defined by a well-preserved bank of earth and stone (Wth 0.9-1.1m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.13m) with no fosse visible at ground level. There is no clearly defined entrance feature visible but a number of modern narrow gaps in bank give access to cattle.

H 0.56m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.42m). There are a number of gaps in the bank due to cattle trampling, however the causeway over the fosse in the NE quadrant may be the original entrance (Stout 1984, 45).
