Situated on W bank of the Black River. A subcircular enclosure (max. ext. diam. c. 30m N-S) defined by an inner bank (max. Wth c. 5.5m; ext. H 1.3m) best preserved from S-NNW, an intervening fosse (Wth at base 1.3m), and an outer bank which is only barely discernible from S-W but more pronounced at N. The site is badly overgrown, full of badger holes, and drainage spoil lies between it and the river. Possibly a ringfort.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
