The National Monuments Service's description
Described in the History of the Queen's County as 'In some cases, the inhabitants have found traces of ancient stone foundations, disposed in groups. These are supposed to indicate sites for houses, belonging to the effaced City of Aghaboe' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 159).
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.
