Located on the W facing slope of high ground in mountainous area. Large circular area (59m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 2m; int. H 0.5m) which is best preserved at E with slight evidence of an external fosse at W. There is a laneway encircling the site from N through E to S. Modern disturbance at W has destroyed the enclosing bank. This bank varies in height and width from E where it is best preserved to S where it is reduced to a scarp. The interior of the site slopes from E to W following the natural slope of the rising ground.
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.
