Enclosure in Shaen, County Laois

What is recorded here

No evidence of any archaeological site, probably was a copse, now in forested land. Depicted as an antiquity on first edition of the OS 6-inch map, but may have been an enclosure for woodland copse of 18th-19th century date. Unsure about antiquity of monument.
