The National Monuments Service's description
'Located approximately 50.0m to the east of the above enclosure [KE030-075----], in the same field, this low semi-circular mound has been cut in half by an east/west field boundary. Only the southern half of this site now survives, as no trace remains in the reclaimed field to the north. What now survives measures 26.0m E-W by 12.0m N-S ( this does not represent the true N-S diameter because of the truncation by the field boundary ). The central mound survives to an average height of 0.60m and measures 16m in maximum length E-W. The top of the mound slopes inwards to a central depression, 10.50m E-W by 6.50m N-S.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
