What is recorded here

Situated on a low ridge in undulating countryside. Poorly preserved bivallate ringfort which now survives as a circular area (diam 50m) defined by two poorly preserved earthen banks visible from S to W only with intervening fosse (Wth 13m). A field wall intersects S side of site destroying the enclosing banks. 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
