Situated on the NW facing slope of rising ground in upland area. The site was totally overgrown making exact measuring and examination impossible. The site consisted of a circular area (diam 58m NW-SE; 49m SW-NE) enclosed by two earthen banks, intervening fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D. 0.5m; int. D 1.3m) with possible entrance gap at NE. The inner bank is reduced to a scarp in most places while the outer bank (Wth 1.5m) is the best preserved.
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.
