The National Monuments Service's description
On the E facing slope of high ground in mountainous area. Circular area (27m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m) and outer fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 1m). Interior of site steeply slopes from W to E, making it unsuitable as a habitation site. No evidence of an entrance feature. The site is heavily overgrown in an area of recent forest plantation.
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.
