The National Monuments Service's description
This is the site of a natural ridge with a few trees planted on top. There is no evidence of any man made features on this ridge and there is no local tradition of any archaeological site in this area. Possibly a tre-ring or a natural hillock that was landscaped in the 18th-19th century.
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.
