What is recorded here

On top of high ground in upland area with two tumuli (OF043-040001/002-) nearby to the NNW and NW respectively. Low circular area (diam. 9.5m) enclosed by a shallow inner fosse (Wth 3m) with slight evidence of a much degraded external bank which is destroyed by a field boundary which intersects the site at S. The ring-barrow is poorly preserved and only visible under suitable conditions. One of a group of three burial sites. 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
