What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken stone ringfort on an east-facing Offaly slope, preserving only its western half as a wide semicircular bank. The surviving curve suggests a much larger enclosure, perhaps a boundary marker or seasonal shelter, now reduced to a coarse arc across the upland grass.

Situated on E facing slope in upland area. Only the W half of the site survives from S through W to N consisting of a semicircular area (approx. 62m diam) enclosed by an impressive bank of mainly stone with a sod covering (Wth 2m; int. H 1.7m). Originally the site must have been a large enclosure with an impressive stone bank. 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
