The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle N-facing slope in the grounds of Strokestown Workhouse. Circular overgrown area (diam. 40m N-S; 39m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4.3m; int. H 0.5-0.6m; ext. H 1m) and rounded fosse (at W: Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.9m). It was surrounded by a masonry wall in a rectangular enclosure and used as the burial ground (RO028-013002-) of the Strokestown Workhouse, which was c. 100m to the N and is now removed without trace. There is no visible evidence of burial, although there is a memorial at the entrance. The possible rath (RO029-014----) is c. 70m to the ESE.
