The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle N-facing pasture slope overlooking the River Liffey to the N. Visible on a 1963 aerial photograph (CUCAP AHK 34) as the cropmarks of two concentric fosses enclosing a circular area (est max diam. c. 50m) with traces of another fosse defining a possible D-shaped annexe at S. May be the levelled remains of a bi-vallate rath with an annexe or small field attached? No visible surface trace survives. A second levelled enclosure (KD029-008----) lies c 70m to the NW.
