The National Monuments Service's description
Located approximately 118m west of enclosure (DU007-076----), within a large arable field known as the Stang, close to the townland boundary between Brownstown and Roscall with extensive views south to the Dublin/Wicklow mountains, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of an enclosure. The irregular double ditched enclosure (diam. c. 28m) is visible on Google maps imagery (14/06/2018). Other cropmarks to the east and west indicate a series of enclosures and possible field system.
