What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not human at all. The claim is a contradiction because the measurement is a ringfort. The numbers belong to a human place, not a fairy place. A circular area about forty-five metres across still stands with a bank and outside ditch. The missing entrance does not make the truth disappear. It withholds the exact shape from ordinary memory.

A circular area (diam. c. 45m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 1.4m, int. H c. 1.5m, ext. H c. 1.9m), and external fosse (Wth c. 2.8m) from NE-W. 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
