What is recorded here

Droughtville holds a small flat topped mound, two metres high and four across, buried inside dense Offaly forest. The trees choke the land so thickly that the mound hides from most people and resists easy judgement. It may be a marker, a cache or a forgotten chamber, but the forest refuses to show its hand.

Small flat topped mound (H 2m; top diam 4m) located in dense forest which is difficult to examine as a result. No other features visible. 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
