The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level area near the W edge of a flat-topped hill, overlooking a steep slope to the W. Circular enclosure (diam. 9m; max. ext. diam. 23m) defined by two closely spaced banks of earth and stone (dims, of both; H 0.7m; Wth 2.5m); intervening area c. 1.5-2m. There are gaps in both banks at the S which are probably original (gap in inner bank Wth 2m; in outer 2.5m).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
