The National Monuments Service's description
Described by O. Davies in 1942 as 'On level open plain a steep-sided circular mound, total diam 7 yds, diam of flat top 3 yds. 2.5' high. No fosse, near by is a spring with channel from it.' (ITA Survey 1942). In 1975 this mound was re-classified as a crannog listed by an Foras Forbartha report on monuments of archaeological interest in Co. Offaly (1975, 41).
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.
