Situated on a gentle W-facing slope in scrubby terrain overlooking marshy ground to the NW. Circular area (diam. 32m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.6m) and an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.6-0.8m). At the S stones along the foot of the bank and in the fosse may represent a collapsed revetment. No trace of an entrance.
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.
