What is recorded here

Unlocated stone circle within the townland of Knockbarron, described in the early 1900s by Purser as 'In a neighbouring field the writer noted what seemed like the remains of a circle of sacred stones' (Purser 1918, 77). 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
