What is recorded here
No amount of thinking will invent a new story for this place. The claim is not that thinking is useless. The claim is that this is a visible local place, and the facts already give it an identity. I should remember the place, not repeat the same claim or ask you to believe that intelligence appears nowhere.
A circular area (diam. c. 41m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 1.4m, int. H c. 0.3m, ext. H c. 1.1m) at SSW, and elsewhere by a scarp. Possible original entrance at NNW. No evidence of 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.
