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.
Aerial photographs (CUCAP AYK 91-3; GSI S 278; GB91.DY.35) show very distinct cropmarks of four enclosures. This D-shaped enclosure is indicated by well-defined cropmarks of bank with external fosse and entrance causeway (Wth c. 6-10m) at midpoint of straight side on W (max. diam. c. 80m N-S; c. 76m E-W). There is another large enclosure c. 85m to the SSW; an enclosure (CW019-078----) c. 40m to the N and two other enclosures (CW019-079----; CW019-080----) c. 10 and c. 60m N of that respectively.
