The National Monuments Service's description

A circular enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). This site was subject to three geophysical surveys. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R0230) was undertaken in advance of proposed realignment. It identified a pennanular ditch (c.30m diam.) with an entrance to the east (Nicholls 2008). Another geophyscial survey (Licence no. 07R0230EXT), also in advance of a proposed road realignment immediately north, identified another circular feature (c.25m diam.) which may be associated (Harrison 2008). A third geophysical survey (14R0045) in advance of the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme identified the southern limit of the same enclosure, the ditch of which may contain burnt remains (Bonsall 2014, 9).
