The National Monuments Service's description
On high ground in upland area with good extensive views. Circular mound (H 0.7m - 1m; Top diam. 7m; base diam. 12m) enclosed by poorly preserved fosse with no evidence of an external bank. Large stones on top of mound probably the result of recent field clearance while sunken area on top may be due to modern digging.
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.
