The National Monuments Service's description
Not visible at ground level. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, identified as a potential destroyed monument which was pencilled in as a circular feature on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map (ASI file) 1977). Described in 1977 as, 'this earthwork has been destroyed. It was set on a low narrow ridge in undulating land' (SMR File 1977). This monument was not indicated as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps and there is no definite evidence that there was ever an archaeological monument at this location.
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.
