The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in arable land on a gentle north facing slope with fantastic views down to Lusk. An aerial photograph taken in 1972 (FSI 427/6) shows a cropmark of a circular, univallate enclosure (diam. c. 45m) with possible field boundaries attached. Archaeological assessment (11E0431) in advance of a house construction in the same field identified the enclosure and a figure-of-eight kiln (2.4m l.). The latter was excavated (Mullins and Dunne, 2012). Not visible at ground level.
