What is recorded here

Very large enclosure (c. 250m E-W) almost circular and defined by a wide shallow fosse (max. W 11m, max. D 1m) at E and S and by a much smaller one elsewhere. N portion of site appears to be ploughed out. Smaller enclosure (c. 45m E-W) in E sector of site. Site maybe of ecclesiastical nature. Aerial photos (GSI N490/1, N483/2). 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
