The National Monuments Service's description
A portion of the circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map survives to the W of the graveyard (WI003-028002-). A much larger enclosure (dims. 80m N-S; 100m E-W) is defined by a curving earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; H 1m) from S (along the S line of the modern graveyard) to W. At the N and E this feature has been destroyed by quarrying.
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.
