The National Monuments Service's description
Tree-ring assoicated with the nearby house marked on the six inch map as Carrowkeel House. Natural hill which has been landscaped with the planting of trees around its edge. Recent dumping of earth around its periphery gives a bank like appearance. Field fence at SW. No surface evidence of any souterrain. Potential ringfort identified by T. McDonald as part of an archaeological survey of the Clonmacnoise region in 1987 (McDonald 1987, 9). Described by McDonald as 'substantial ringfort c. 200 yds. from Carrowkeel House. Traces of an attached souterrain on south side. Ring-fort enclosed by an earthen bank' (McDonald 1987, 9).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
