The National Monuments Service's description
'Located on the eastern side of the Finglas River, near the head of Scotia’s Glen, this site again affords excellent views down the glen to the south. The site consists of an irregular mound of stone and earth (KE038-126001-) running NW-SE for a length of 14.3m beside the river. The mound varies between 3.3m in width at its north-western end and 5.2m in width at its south-eastern end, and is on average 1.3m high.'
