The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map only; an irregular line of hachures indicates part of a possible earthwork ( C c. 85m SSE-SW) located in front of Farranville House. Situated in slightly undulating countryside. A slightly raised area in front of Farranville House and appears to be a landscape feature possibly a ha-ha associated with Farranville House.
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.
