The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low ridge running E-W in undulating countryside. Roughly circular area (diam 39m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) which is only visible from W through N to E to S, destroyed elsewhere. Field fence intersects NE sector of site. No evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. The interior of the site slopes from S to N following the natural slope of the ridge.
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.
