The National Monuments Service's description
Named 'Raheen Doon' on Brownrigg's 1791 map in his 'Survey of Sherlockstown, Bodenstown and Little Rath' (NLI Ms. 16 H. 15(21) Map No. 17), and on a later, 1799 map of his (op. cit. Map No. 19) he records a bivallate enclosure in 'Raheen Doon Field'. The site is shown as a raised, circular area (est. diam. c. 40m) on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map , but it is not recorded on the latest ed. (1938-9), which shows the Dublin-Sallins railway line running through the site.
