The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Originally large and substantial monument now very degraded. Consists of large circular area (diam. c. 37m) defined by gentle embankment (H 1m; L of slope 3m) with now shallow fosse (Wth c. 4m) and very low external bank.
