The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the level summit of a low natural rise. Low subrectangular platform (dims. 26m NW-SE x 14m NE-SW; H 0.5m) delimited on the NE side by a field boundary with very slight traces of a bank on the NW and SE ends. The site is hachured as two separate (possibly conjoined) circular enclosures on the 1838 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.
