Indicated

Situated in undulating countryside. Depicted as a lime-kiln on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map and shown as a horseshoe-shaped mound on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map and the 25-inch map as a mound (diam. c. 20m) with a raised area (c. 60m E-W) around it from E-NNW. This mound probably represents the levelled remains of the lime-kiln depicted on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Today there are no visible surface remains. Reference to a moated site here (Feehan 1983, 247). 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.
