Indicated

Marked on 1888 and 1909 editions of the OS 6-inch maps; an irregular enclosure (max. dims. c. 60m ENE-WSW). No visible surface remains. Depicted on first edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular enclosure and on the current edition as a semi-circular or D-shaped enclosure. No surface remains visible at time of inspection as field was in tillage. Shape of monument on first edition of the OS 6-inch map would suggest that it may have been a moated site. Subrectangular enclosure (approx. dims. 50m E-W; 44m N-S) with straight side at NE (L 45m) which is intersected at NW by a field boundary now removed running on a NE-SW axis. Site was probably levelled when field boundary removed. 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.
