The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SW facing slope of high ground in undulating countryside. Roughly circular area (diam 42.5m N-S) enclosed by a dry stone wall (T 2m) which varies in height from 0.3m to 1m at E where it acts as part of a field boundary. No visible fosse or entrance feature. There are two possible hut like structures indicated by loosely scattered stones in the centre of the site. The fragmentary remains of these stones makes it difficult to classify them as hut sites. The site has a cashel like appearance especially at E, however this may be due to field clearance from the surrounding fields.
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.
