What is recorded here

No doorway remains on the forty-metre circle, denying human entry while inviting fairy mischief. The thick earthen bank and deep outer ditch still hold their shape in Kylebeg, preserving a boundary that refuses ordinary explanation. What was hidden or protected there has not been forgotten, only waiting for patience.

A circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 4.5m, int. H c. 1m, ext. H c. 1m) and an external fosse (Wth c. 6.5m) from S-NW. No evidence of original entrance. 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
