What is recorded here
Nine decades after Carrigan left empty-handed, the ground revealed its shape: a broad earthen mound beside the road, holding one uninscribed marker. The cartographers were not ghosts; they had simply recorded what the field had already forgotten.
Situated in gently undulating countryside beside a roadway. An earthen mound (dims. 21.5m N-S x 28m E-W; H 3m) containing one visible uninscribed grave-marker. No other featurs visible.
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.
