The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (OS 7 9517, 9519) showed cropmark evidence for a univallate enclosure which is roughly circular in plan. Test excavation (Licence no. 03E1496) was undertaken in advance of housing development. Nine trenches were opened on the site of the monument but no traces of any features were identified (O'Carroll, E. 2003:485 www.excavations.ie). Now built over.
