The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the highest ground in the centre of the present village of Clane and probably occupying the site of the Early Christain monastery of 'Cluain Damh' (KD014-026017-). A D-shaped area (diam. c. 50m E-W) with a straight W side (L c. 50m N-S), its curving form may reflect the line of an earlier, monastic enclosure. Contains St Micheal's parish church (KD014-026002-) and a 17th century Wogan tomb (KD014-026007-). (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 142-43)
