The National Monuments Service's description
Possibly the remains of a ringfort (int. diam. N-S c. 41m) very overgrown with scrub and cut by roadway at W. Site defined by a slight bank (Wth c. 2m, int. H c. 1m) and external fosse (max. Wth 3m, D 1m). Davies (ITASurvey 1942) states that there was evidence of one or two graves in the enclosure but this could not be verified due to dense overgrowth.
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.
