Burial ground in Hollimshill

Known locally as the church field all that remains of this site is the rubble of what appears to be a perimeter wall which encloses a rectangular area (OF024-019002-). Within the site to the east is a mound of rubble, may be the remains of some type of structure. There are no remains of graves or gravemarkers. Site is located on a South facing slope overlooking Pallas lake (fairly steep slope). The site itself forms a low hillock which is very overgrown with vegetation. (Shaw Rev. 1971, 63) 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. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
