The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground in a mature plantation of trees. Circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a double-kerbed wall (Wth 3m; H 0.25-0.9m) of both orthostatic and horizontal boulders with a loose stone core. The site is intact at the N and SW and is represented elsewhere by a jumble of stone. No trace of a fosse, entrance or internal features.
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.
