The National Monuments Service's description
The OS Field Name Books of 1837-40 mention the presence of a mount near Clara House which they describe as an artifical pile of stones (or carn?) (OSFNB 416). This is more likely to be a designed landscape feature associated with Clara House.
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.
