The National Monuments Service's description
A curving earthwork (C c. 199m L) which is indicated on the 1906 edition of the OS 6-inch map is indicated as a field boundary of a farmhouse on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in an upland area. Today there are no visible surface remains of this earthwork which appears to be a field boundary of a post-1700 farmhouse, now levelled, both of which are indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but not on subsequent editions.
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.
