The National Monuments Service's description
Near the top (500 foot contour) of a short but steep E-facing pasture slope overlooking the River Liffey to the E. Two other enclosures lies a short distance to the NW (KD029-053----) and beyond to the N (KD029-052----). A poorly preserved circular area (est. int. diam. 29m) is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; Wth 3-4.2m; ext. H 0.6m) and a shallow outer fosse (D 0.5m; Wth at base 1.6m) NE-E-SE. Quarrying has disturbed the enclosing elements and the interior elsewhere.
