Linear earthwork that runs for a distance of approx. 400m and which consists of a wide fosse (base Wth 3-4.5m; top Wth 8m; approx. L 400m) which is flanked on either side by an earthen bank (ext. H 1m; int. H 2m; base Wth 8m; top Wth 1.5m). Difficult to examine due to dense overgrowth. The S end of this earthwork abuts onto wet boggy land which may have been impassable at the time. It is possible that the linear earthwork extended further to the N across the road and into the fields to the N although there is no surface remains of any earthwork in this field. A second linear earthwork (OF024-009----) which runs parallel to this linear feature is located to the N. 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.
