What is recorded here

Mud and memory entangled. People built a ring, forgot its name, and reused the hill for a castle. Forgetting is not loss; it is a jar waiting for a new kitchen.

Possible ringfort reused as a motte and bailey (LA024-015002-) (OPW file). 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.
