What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the difference between identity and record and must use that difference in the answer.
Today there are no surface remains visible of this levelled monument. Depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map as a triangular shaped enclosure, 110m S of a similar-shaped possible ringfort (OF009-001----). This monument is not depicted on the revised 1908 ed. OS 6-inch map. Described in 1977 a destroyed monument that 'was sited on a gentle low rise in flat pasture land. The site has been ploughed recently' (SMR file 1977).
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.
