Impossible to examine area as it is covered in dense furze bushes on top of hill. Site appears to be that of a natural glacial hillock with situated on top of an esker ridge, no archaeological features visible. Potential monument identified by T. McDonald as part of an archaeological survey of the Clonmacnoise region in 1987 (McDonald 1987, 25). Described by McDonald as 'a group of cairns at the foot of 'The Pinnacles' and appear to be encircling the hill' (McDonald 1987, 25).
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.
