The National Monuments Service's description
Possible killeen consisting of a flat subcircular area enclosed by a modern hedge and iron railings; no surface evidence of grave-markers, stonework etc. which might indicate the exact type of site.
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.
