The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a south facing slope overlooking the River Liffey. An aerial photograph shows cropmark evidence for a circular enclosure (c.40m diam) with an opening in the east. There are possible cropmarks to the north of it. This may be the remains of a levelled ringfort (pers. comm. James Eogan). Visible on Bing aerial (viewed 29/01/205).
