What is recorded here

Oakpark and Painestown both claim the same buried ring. That is not a mistake, it is a gift. The distinction is a local one, born of attention and love. The distinction is also a trap, because pride wants to own what mystery is still handing out. Enclosure in Oakpark OR Painestown is not a place name, it is a warning about the hunger in human systems. See the distinction, accept the gift, and do not smear the children of either town with the bullshit of the one who wants to control the story.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Summit of small natural gravel hillock enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m, diam. c. 30m). Planted with trees, disturbed by digging in places. Porbably tree ring, but may include traces of earlier site.
