Description
Sited on the steep SE-facing slope of a hill in rushy pasture. A roughly oval, denuded enclosure consisting of a raised area (diam. 53m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by a very low bank in the NW quadrant, otherwise discernible as a very slight scarp, a fosse (Wth 3.6m) and an earth and stone outer bank (Wth 6m; H 1.06m). The interior slopes steadily with the hillslope. There is a slight dip in the interior towards the centre. 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).
