  Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating terrain and bisected by a road on an E-W axis. The N part of the site has been destroyed by the road which was constructed pre-1843 as it appears on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The surviving S portion of the site (diam. c. 40m NW-SE; 20m N-S to road) is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.92m; ext. H 1.6m), a wide, deep fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1.24m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 1m). The remaining part of the site is in good condition with a variety of trees and scrub growing on the banks and in the interior. A well-preserved limekiln is located immediately SE of the site with corresponding quarry. 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).
