The National Monuments Service's description

Located in low-lying tillage N of a stream, close to the Malahide estuary. An aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDS 48) shows cropmark evidence for a sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) with two possible fields (DU0 12-012002-) attached to the E of it. Possibly of Early Christian date. Not visible at ground level.
