Marked on the 1841 and 1909 editions of the OS 6-inch maps as a tree-covered mound (max. dim. 60m N-S). Situated on E face of a N-S ridge. A fosse (Wth c. 5m; int. D c. 1.8m; ext. D c. 1m) survives at SE, with faint remains at N. Remains of an external bank (Wth c. 4.8m, ext. H c. 1.6m) survive at SE. No other visible remains. Quarried at E, W and interior. Possible remains of a landscape feature.
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.
