What is recorded here

On the N facing slope of a hill just below the summit with good views to the N, E and W with limited view to the S due to its location. Roughly circular area (diam 24.6m N-S ; 29m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank reduced to a scarp in most places with external fosse (D 1.3m; Wth 1m). Possible causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) at SE. 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
