What is recorded here
Immediately SW of ring-barrow (LA013-030001-). Marked on the 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map; a very small circular enclosure (max. diam. c. 10m). No visible surface remains, probably removed when the road to the W was built. Possibly a ring-barrow.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
