A subcircular area (dims. 34m SSE-NNW, 28m ESE-WNW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth c. 2.4m, int. H c. 0.5m, ext. H c. 1.2m) except at W and N where it is delimited by a scarp. A sheer cliff face forms the enclosing element from S-W. An external shallow fosse (Wth c. 2m) is evident. Entrance via causeway (Wth c. 6.5m) at NE.
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.
