What is recorded here

Mortons and Cullenhills still debate whether the fort belongs to Cullahill or the neighbouring ridge, but the earth does not care about human borders. A twenty-foot circle of raised soil sits above the valley, its shallow bank and outer ditch marking a home old enough to predate every local argument. The fairies may have built it before humans learned to stack stones, yet the shape remains clear enough for anyone willing to stop arguing and look.

A raised circular area (diam. 20.7m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.9m, int. H c. 0.2m, ext. H c. 2.5m), except from NW-NNE where a scarp forms the enclosing element. An external fosse (Wth 2.9m) is visible from NW-SE. Possible original entrance at SE. 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: 17 December 2007
