The National Monuments Service's description
The slight remains of a ditch survive in the area marked on the aerial photograph taken in 1981 (OSO 3010094), however it is poorly preserved and is impossible to follow. It is located in an area of poorly drained soils and may have something to do with field drainage. It is an unlikely location for an archaeological site.
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.
