The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the lower slopes of Two Rock Mountain on the N bank of the Glencullen River. This site is shown as two conjoined enclosures in a figure of eight formation, on the 1843 OS 6-inch map (est. diams. N enclosure c. 20m; S enclosure c. 30m). Known locally as the 'Old Glencullen House' (Healy 1975, 1-19). The land in this area has been improved leaving no visible trace of these sites at ground level.
