The National Monuments Service's description
Sited on a rise on eastern side of hill, completely levelled. Siting would suggest a ringfort. Marked as an earthwork possible on first edition of the OS 6-inch map. Its close proximity to tree-rings associated with Toberdaly House may suggest that this feature was a landscape feature associated with Toberdaly 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.
