What is "arless"

Arles or Arless (historically Ardlisse, from ) is a village in County Laois, Ireland. It lies northwest of Ballickmoyler and northwest of Carlow, on the N80 national secondary road.

Located close to Carlow, the village has rapidly expanded in size since the 1960s, when it comprised just a few houses around the church. This was built in the 1680s (according to an inscription on a stone in the wall) and originally had a thatched roof.
