Arles or Arless (historically Ardlisse, from Irish: Ard Lios, meaning 'high ringfort')[1] is a village in County Laois, Ireland.
Located close to Carlow, the village has expanded in size since its foundation, when it comprised just a few houses around the church.
The church was built in the 1680s (according to an inscription on a stone in the wall) and originally had a thatched roof.
[2] On weekdays, the village is served by JJ Kavanagh and Sons Abbeyleix/Portlaoise-Athy-Carlow bus route with two daily journeys each way.
Bus Éireann route 73 from Waterford to Athlone passes through the village but does not stop there.
