The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural rise in undulating countryside. Roughly circular platform (diam 35m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved bank which has been reduced in places to a scarp (ext. H 1m) with no evidence of a fosse or entrance feature. The perimeter of the site is very overgrown with field clearance material making examination difficult.
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.
