The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating countryside. A circular area (diam. c. 10.3m) defined by a low scarp (ext. H 0.3m) from SE-NE. No evidence of fosse or entrance. The mound may have been built or reused by the Ordnance Survey in the 19th century as there is a trig-station point on top of the mound as depicted on the 1906 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
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.
