What is recorded here

Situated on the S facing slope of rising ground overlooking low-lying flat land to the S with higher upland area to the N. Roughly circular area (diam 29m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 1.5 - 3m) with no evidence of an outer fosse. Modern gap at N created by farmer to gain access to interior to dump rubbish from field clearance. Interior of site is totally covered in rubbish making examination impossible. 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
