The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in Coillte forestry in upland area. Possible enclosure not marked on any edition of OS 6-inch maps but visible on aerial photograph taken by the Irish air corps c. 1950 (ACAP, V 300, 776-7). No surface remains visible of monument in area marked on the OS map. A site inspection carried out in 20/07/2018 by Ed Lyne failed to locate the possible enclosure identified on the air corps aerial photograph.
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.
