Reference to a possible unlocated souterrain between Clopook fort (LA019-021001-) and Sleaty (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 249-265). The precise location of this possible souterrain has not been identified. Described by Comerford as ' There lingers still in the locality a tradition that in ages past a saint used to retire to his distant church by a subterranean passage leading south, which is supposed to be still in existence' (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 253).
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
