The National Monuments Service's description
A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. A second larger ring-ditch is located to the south in the same field (DU007-069----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Located within relatively flat field which has been extensively opened up. 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.
