The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Circular enclosure (diam. 18m) defined by a very slight bank, with an entrance gap (Wth 2.5m) at the NW. No trace of a fosse. It is at the centre of a curving field boundary which may form about two-thirds of an outer enclosing element (diam. c. 80m) indicated on the current OS 6-inch map.
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.
