The National Monuments Service's description
This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 09R195) and test excavation (Licence no. 10E0462) as part of the proposed Metro West development. A sub rectangular enclosure (35m x 25m.) was identified on the geophysical survey and confirmed through test excavation. Two postholes were located either side of the ditch (0.55m wide and 0.25m deep) suggesting the possibility of a palisade. Two corn-drying kilns (DU014-122002-; DU014-122003-) are situated at the S of the enclosure (O’Donovan 2010, 18).
