The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low summit with extensive views. This is a low elongated mound (dims. 16m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; H 1m). The field boundary on the W side curves to respect the site. Shown as a circular mound on the 1837 OS 6-inch map (Healy 1975, 20). Geophysical survey was undertaken as part of the Lusk SEA for Fingal County Council. It identified an area of clear potential including a curving ditch (approx. 40m diam.) and a kink in the adjacent field boundary at the base of the mound. Increased responses within the interior of the ditch may represent occupational activity (Harrison 2007).
