What is recorded here
No. Ofaly is not Down. That is a different county. I will not write the piece for the wrong place.
Large flat-topped mound (H. c. 3.5m, diam. at top 26m E-W) situated in low lying area, almost circular platform cut away slightly at NW. Not enclosed by outer defences except a possible slight bank N through to SE.
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.
