What is recorded here

Enclosure in Glascloon (ballybrit By.) is a 17-metre circular earthen ring on a south-east slope above the river, possibly a small ringfort. It has no visible entrance, and its interior is buried under field clearance debris, blocking detailed examination. The shape suggests a place set apart, perhaps for living, storing or believing, but the stones and soil have swallowed the evidence.

Situated on SE facing slope of low natural rise in upland area overlooking river to the E. Raised circular area (diam 17m E-W approx.) enclosed by earthen bank and shallow external fosse with no evidence of an entrance feature. Interior covered in field clearance debris making detailed examination impossible. Possibly a small ringfort. 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
