What is recorded here
Glebe Enclosure is a ruined ring twenty-six metres wide on a natural rise in County Offaly, still offering broad views across flat country. It appeared as a cavity on the 1840 Ordinance Survey map, but human hands or time have since erased most of its shape. The land may have marked a home, shrine or boundary before forgetting the purpose of its own stones.
Situated on a natural rise in flat countryside with good extensive views. Barely discernible outline of a destroyed enclosure (diam 26m E-W). Depicted on 1840 edition of OS 6-inch map as a 'cavity'.
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.
