Reference to an enclosure of c. one acre in area and defined by a stone wall and fosse which enclosed the Abbey (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 345). No visible surface remains.
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.
