What is recorded here

Coolagary once held a ringfort on a slight rise, but human hands or time erased the walls until only a faint outline remains. The loss is not empty; it is a invitation to imagine the lives that filled the missing circle. What is gone can still be seen when the mind learns the shape of absence.

Situated on a slight rise of ground. Completely levelled with only the bare outline of the site discernible. 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
