The National Monuments Service's description
'These two sites are located on top of a steep limestone outcrop, which affords panoramic views in all directions. The surrounding land is marginal and used for rough grazing.
•The larger of the two mounds (KE030-106----) measures 8.00m by 6.00m and is 0.40m in height. Loose stone is visible in its make-up.
•The smaller mound (KE030-107----) is 6.00m by 4.00m and is 0.30m in height.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
