What is recorded here

Killina holds a natural ridge decorated with a few planted trees, possibly shaping an old tre-ring or smoothing a hillock during the 18th or 19th century. No made feature or local archaeological memory has appeared there, leaving the ridge more like a landscape invitation than a historical claim. It preserves the chance that people valued the view, the shelter or the shape of the land before they ever named it.

This is the site of a natural ridge with a few trees planted on top. There is no evidence of any man made features on this ridge and there is no local tradition of any archaeological site in this area. Possibly a tre-ring or a natural hillock that was landscaped in the 18th-19th century. 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
