The National Monuments Service's description
Possible enclosure visible on aerial photo (ACAP V 300 738/7). Situated in valley bottom, close to river, in heavily wooded area. Site not reached because of inaccessibility due to tree-planting.
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.
