The National Monuments Service's description
A raised circular area (diam. 20.7m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.9m, int. H c. 0.2m, ext. H c. 2.5m), except from NW-NNE where a scarp forms the enclosing element. An external fosse (Wth 2.9m) is visible from NW-SE. Possible original entrance at SE.
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.
