See attached Google Earth image (imagery date 14 July 2018) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

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.
