Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Part of a circular enclosure, hachured on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, truncated at N by the public road. The site (diam. 30m) is defined by a low earth and stone bank (H c. 0.8m). The interior is in use as a garden. No trace of an entrance or external fosse.
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.
