The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the S facing slopes of a broad E-W running ridge with very extensive views E towards the sea, S to the Dublin mountains and E, with views to the N somewhat restricted by higher ground. Situated in the NE corner of a very large arable field, just 40m W of the road between Lusk and Skerries. This is a sub-circular enclosure which appears continuous c. 11m in ext. diameter, identified on the Digital Globe mapping on July 24th 2018 by Christine Baker, appearing as a crop-mark.
