Indicated on the 1841 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. A circular area (diam. c. 39.2m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 2.8m, int. H c. 1.2m, ext. H c. 1.6m) from SW-NE, and elsewhere by a scarp. No other visible surface remains.
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.
