What is recorded here

Shown on 1839 'OS 6-inch' map as circular earthwork, probably mound (max. diam. c. 20m). Area has been quarried extensively. No visible surface traces. Limited excavation as part of the N9/ N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road scheme revealed evidence for two heavily truncated curvilinear ditches (Hughes, J. 2008, 19). The above 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: 03 February 2009
