What is recorded here

Endrim's enclosure vanished under modern field fences, probably destroyed by land improvements that erased the ringfort. It appeared only as a hachured circle on the 1912 OS map, marking what human hands had already forgotten or removed. The land remembers shape longer than it remembers life, keeping a ghost line where a dwelling once stood.
Not visible at ground level. Field fences have been removed by land improvements which probably destroyed the ringfort. Hachured as circular enclosure on 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map. 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
