What is recorded here
Marked as rabbit burrow on the 1841 ed OS 6-inch map. Reference to possible medieval rabbit warren site here (Feehan, 1983, 383). No visible surface remains. According to Feehan on Badger Hill there was a site named Rabbit Warren, and there is the possibility that this was on the site of the medieval warren which the de Clares and their sucessors would certainly have had (Feehan 1983, 383).
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.
