What is recorded here

No exact dates, boundary or function are recorded, but a linear earthwork still lies north of the Shrule burial ground. It has no visible surface remains; only crop shadow and aerial line preserve its shape. That absence makes the place harder to dismiss, since a road, trench, ridge or discarded boundary may still lie beneath ordinary Laogha soil.

Situated N of Shrule burial ground (LA032-012005-). Cropmark of linear features visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDH 51-3). No visible surface remains. 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. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
