What is recorded here

Located in valley running N-S with river to E. Raised D shaped area (ext. dims. 30m E-W; 38m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.75m) which is very pronounced at E and destroyed at N. No evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. Site would appear to have utilised natural drop at E and raised the interior at W to compensate for hill slope. 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
