Not marked on the 1839 or 1909 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Reference to three vaulted chambers under the site of the buildings (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 132). No visible surface remains. Described in the History of The Queens County as 'At Rathaspick and under the site of its ancient church (LA025-023001-), three vaulted chambers were found and there also was discovered a well (LA025-023003-)' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 59).
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.
