Depicted as 'Williams Fort' on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Modern sheds and large 19th-century house built inside large enclosure on line of earthen bank which encloses modern farmyard. Recent erection of sheds inside enclosure revealed no archaeological deposits. Not marked on 1840 edition of OS 6-inch map. Possible landscape feature. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
