What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Laois, a circular earth and stone ring about thirty-seven metres across with a possible entrance at the north west. It belongs to the old landscape where people still call such rings fairy forts, implying they saw more life there than ordinary farming. The bank is low now, but its shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine who stood inside when the field was young.

A circular area (diam. c. 37m) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3m, ext. H c. 0.6m). Possible entrance at NW. 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. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
