The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the W facing slope of a ridge running N-S. Quarry located where site is marked on OS 6-inch map. The local landowner will not touch the overgrowth on this ridge because he believes that it is a fairy fort. Depicted as circular enclosure on 1912 OS 6-inch map.

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.
