What is recorded here

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: 23 December 2010 Aerial photographs (CUCAP BGH 32-3; GB91.DY. 02) show circular area enclosed by cropmarks of three concentric but slightly irregular fosses (est max. diam. c. 65m). At W, cropmark of fosse defining apparently circular and earlier enclosure (CW012-009002-). No visible traces at ground level. Possibly multivallate ringfort partly overlying circular enclosure of indeterminate type.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
