  Description

  Situated on high ground in upland area. Large circular area (diam 40m N-S) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3m) and impressive causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at SW. The inner bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.7m) is reduced to a scarp in places and has a modern gap (Wth 3m) at N. There is a large quantity of stone in the better preserved outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.5m; int. H 0.75m) which may be due to field clearance debris. There is no evidence of an external fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
