Situated on low rise in area of undulating countryside with nearby church (OF008-045001-) and high cross (OF008-045005-) to S. Circular shaped platform measuring 8.5m E/W by 8m N/S and 0.3m high above surrounding land. There is evidence for stone kerbing on the southern side of the platform where the sheep have eroded away the top soil. The interior of the site is very even with a few loose stones scattered about. The edge of the platform is lined with hawthorn trees. The site would appear to be some form of burial site which may have had a low central mound which has now been eroded down to a flat platform.
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.
