The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map; a rectangular enclosure (max. dims. c. 50m N-S, 30m E-W) cut by an internal wall at ENE and WNW. No visible surface remains. 'Pigott's Castle' (LA013-061001-) lies on the line of the site at WNW.
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.
