  Situated on the W-facing lower slope of Knockadiggeen Hill, in pasture. A roughly circular area (diam. 26.5m N-S; 23.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 1.28m; ext. H 0.84m), a fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 2.14m) and an outer bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 1.11m). No obvious entrance feature is visible though there is a cattle break in the W sector with the slight suggestion of a causeway across the fosse. The internal bank is intact and is higher upslope to the E. The intervening fosse is wide and U-shaped with the external bank in good condition downslope to the W but less well preserved elsewhere and destroyed in the SE quadrant. The external bank is well preserved in the W sector but is less pronounced elsewhere and not visible in the SE quadrant. The interior slopes to the W and has been damaged by animal burrows. The inner bank and the fosse at S are covered in scrub. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN027-098001 Hillfort
  Description

  Surrounding the summit of Knockadigeen Hill. A grass-covered hill with young forestry, planted c. 1991, growing over much of the hillfort. The ramparts are damaged by forestry ploughing. A univallate, oval hillfort (diam. c. 190m N-S; c. 280m E-W) with defences consisting of a fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.6m), bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 1.32m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.18m). An E-W townland boundary (Wth 0.5-0.6m, H 0.4-0.5m) intersects the site at W. The NE quadrant is well preserved and forestry has not encroached on this area. The defences in the NW sector consist of a slight internal fosse (Wth 2.5m), a bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.87m) and an outer fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 0.25m) with traces of an external bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.16m; ext. H 1m) at NNW only. The hillfort was recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Univallate contour fort surrounding the summit of domed mountain at the N edge of the Silvermines Mountain range. Ballincurra hillfort is positioned 1.4km to SW. Enclosing elements comprise two ditches with an intervening bank and a possible outer bank at NNW. There are no obvious entrance features recorded. Possible small enclosure within interior to E, identified on aerial photography (GSIAP R 119/120) but not visible at ground level. No other features visible on the surface. Ramparts survive well throughout its circuit. Interior under dense gorse and heather growth. Monument surveyed by Farrelly and O'Brien (2002). The site is not depicted in any historic mapping. Center of the hillfort is bisected by the townland boundary between Knockadigeen and Cloghonan.'
