Situated within the floodplain of the Fuarawn river which lies to the W of site. Rectangular-shaped platform earthwork (ext. dims E-W 15.60m x 34m N-S) with no evidence of an enclosing bank or fosse and no entrance feature. The summit of the mound (dims. 24m x 8m) is quite level. It is not clear if this earthwork may have been the site of a crannog described in 1979 as, 'in the townland of Ballycurragh; all that remains now is an oval platform of clay in the bog' (Feehan 1979, 94).
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.
