The National Monuments Service's description

The foundations of two hut sites are located within ringfort WI012-007001-. The first (WI012-007002-) is in the NE quadrant (12m NW-SE x 6m NE-SW) and is defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.3m). The second (WI012-007003-) is attached to the inner side of the bank at the W (dims. 8m N-S x 5m E-W) and is defined by a grass-grown bank (H 0.3m). The enclosure occurs within a field system (WI012-007004-) attached to the site at the SW and SE.

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.
