The National Monuments Service's description

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
Date of upload/revision: 23 December 2010

Aerial photographs (CUCAP BGH 32-3; GB91.DY. 02) show circular area enclosed by cropmarks of three concentric but slightly irregular fosses (est max. diam. c. 65m). At W, cropmark of fosse defining apparently circular and earlier enclosure (CW012-009002-). No visible traces at ground level. Possibly multivallate ringfort partly overlying circular enclosure of indeterminate type.
