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 Shown on 1908 'OS 6-inch' map as circular area enclosed by bank (max. diam. c. 60m) with raised interior (shown by 300ft contour line). No visible surface traces. Possibly a ringfort. Aerial photograph (GB89.AH.31) shows cropmark of a circular enclosure defined by two concentric fosses, with an additional, intervening narrow fosse (possibly a palisade trench). The aerial photograph adds considerable additional detail to the morphology of this monument (Barrett 1989). Enclosure also visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018). See attached: CW013-010----_01 Google Earth image (imagery date 14 July 2018)
