Aerial photograph (GB89.Y.08) taken by Dr. G. Barrett on the 15th of July shows cropmark of a circular enclosure defined by a fosse. 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. Date of upload/revision: 05 August 2012
