The National Monuments Service's description
Levelled in the 1970's during land reclamation in the area. Not visible at ground level. Described by Reynolds (ASI file 1977) as an almost completely levelled subcircular area (diam. 43m NE-SW) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank with no traces of an external bank.
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.
