The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on E facing slope in upland area. Only the W half of the site survives from S through W to N consisting of a semicircular area (approx. 62m diam) enclosed by an impressive bank of mainly stone with a sod covering (Wth 2m; int. H 1.7m). Originally the site must have been a large enclosure with an impressive stone bank.
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.
