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
Almost square platform with low bank (40m N-S, 45m E-W; H at N 1.5m, at E 2.1m above base of fosse) enclosed by well-defined flat-base fosse (Wth at base 3m) and second low external bank. Situated below crest of hill. No evidence of causeway or entrance.
Aerial photograph (GB89.AH.23) shows moated site. Well preserved rectangular earthwork in 1989. But the aerial photograph on website shows earthwork under cultivation which is unfortunate given that this was one of a very small number of well preserved moated sites surviving as upstanding monuments in County Carlow (Barrett 1989).
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
