What is recorded here

Castle, motte in Kildellig is a square castle mound in County Laois, Ireland. It rises about 4m with a summit near 9m across, and faint ditch marks remain at the south and west. In undulating countryside, that little platform still points to a time when people built height to watch, keep out, or be seen.
