On the E slope of Fahy hill, on good pasture land with standing stone (OF011-002----) located 30m to the NNW. All that survives of this destroyed site is a roughly circular area delineated by nettles and rough ground measuring 34m N-S x 30m E-W. Not marked on first two editions of OS 6-inch maps.
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.
