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: 17 July 2007
Aerial photograph (GSI S 279) shows ringfort divided by field boundary. Approximately circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by stone and gravelly earth bank with boulder facing (H 0.7-1.0m; Wth 1m). Original entrance at SSE (Wth 1.3m). Interior shows some evidence of former, possible original, divisions: (1) line of boulders (L 3m) suggests foundation of wall running N from close to entrance; (2) oval area adjacent to bank at SE defined by large boulders and bulge in bank at SE. To N of field boundary, site is levelled except at E, but is visible as soil mark in recently ploughed field.
