The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the E facing slope of rising ground in upland area. All that remains of this site is a natural looking hollow depression (diam 27m) with slight evidence of a possible destroyed outer bank visible at S only. Marked on first two editions of the OS 6-inch maps but not marked on 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
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.
