Not visible at ground level. Described in 1984-5 as a ringfort that was levelled in the 1950s and consisted of a circular area (diam. approx. 30m) enclosed by a bank and situated inside a forested area (Stout 1984-5).
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.
