What is recorded here
Natural ridge which appears to be of no archaeological significance. Monument is depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Described in 1977 as a 'small circular outcrop, the base of which has been scarped to form a low irregular embankment. The interior is a very low stony rise with a number of old tree stumps on it. The site measures approx. 16m N-S by 16m E-W. This site does not appear to have any arcaheological significance (ASI 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.
