The National Monuments Service's description
Situated along the shore, just south of, and probably associated with, Merrion Castle. On Barker's 'A Map of Old Merrion and Simmonscourt' of 1862 (NAI MSS. 211/2/2/2) an unusual feature is depicted as a d-shaped enclosure bound by a curving earthwork with one edge defined by the shore. At this location on the first edition of the OS 6 " maps a serpentine 'Fish Pond' is indicated (DU023-001005-).
