The National Monuments Service's description
'This site is situated in a small marshy field on a mountain slope which affords panoramic views to the north and west. This is a low sub-circular mound measuring 8.00m N-S by 9.00m E-W and is 1.00m in maximum height at north. No trough area was in evidence. This stone-filled mound is now grass covered, the soil is black and burnt.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
