The National Monuments Service's description
'The small field in which these mounds are located is extremely wet and marshy. The nearby recorded fulacht fiadh (KE029-136----) is a classic horseshoe shaped mound......total dimensions of this mound [KE029-260----] are 14.0m N-S by 7.00m E-W (not the total diameter E-W as the western side has been truncated ) and is 1.00m in height. It is now covered with a growth of grass and reeds, and is stone-filled. No trough area is apparent.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
