What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a natural rise in County Offaly, Ireland. Its thirty-metre circular bank still stands beside a modern garden that cut through the northeast edge. The lost section may have hidden a doorway, a chamber or a warning for humans who approached without permission.

On a natural rise in undulating countryside. Circular area (diam 30m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 1.5m; int. H 0.5m) with no evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. Modern garden intersects NE sector of site destroying the enclosing 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
