The National Monuments Service's description
'Apparently built on top of the enclosing element of the above enclosure [KE038-087----] at south is a smaller enclosure with earthen banks. Total dimensions of the site are 28.0m N-S by 23.0m E-W. The enclosing bank is, on average, 7.00m in width although this increases to 10.0m in width at north-east. The average external height of the banks is 0.50m, the maximum internal height is 1.00m, as the interior has a slightly dished appearance with the result that ground level here is substantially lower than corresponding external ground level.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
