What is recorded here

Kilfeacle holds a seventy-metre earthen ring where a low bank and sharp scarp enclose a forgotten life. People may have built the ridge, dug the ditch and buried their dead inside the hollow before fairy tales renamed the stones. The earth still keeps that shape, waiting for someone to remember the hands that made it.

A subcircular area (max. diam. c. 70m N-S) defined by a low bank, except at ESE and S where it is defined by a scarp, and an external fosse (Wth c. 4.3m, int. H c. 1m). No evidence of original entrance. A burial (LA025-033002-) may have been found here. 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
