On top of a N-S ridge in undulating countryside. Roughly circular domed area (diam. 51m) enclosed by a wide shallow fosse (Wth 6m; ext. D 0.5m) with external bank (Wth 4m; ext. H 0.7m). W side of external bank acts as a field boundary while the SE sector of the inner fosse and external bank is destroyed. Indicated on 1840 edition of OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped earthwork. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
