What is recorded here
Situated on flat land in upland area. Raised circular area (diam 41m; ext. H 0.5m) enclosed by shallow fosse with possible entrance gap (Wth 3.5m) at S. Known locally as the cillin (OF043-057001-) which would suggest that this ringfort was reused as a childrens burial ground (Roe 1945, 263-6).
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.
