The National Monuments Service's description
This is the site of a raised terraced area on the side of a hill presumably to create a level platform for a house of post-1700 date. Of doubtful antiquity.
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.
