The National Monuments Service's description
A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. A second smaller ring-ditch (DU007-070----) is located to the north in the same field (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Located within relatively flat field. Had been under crop but now has a landing strip running north-south along western limit and east-west across field. Expansive views southwards to the Dublin Mountains and Lambay is very prominent to the east. No visible remains at ground level.
