Situated on the level marshy floor of a stream valley. Quadrangular enclosure (max. int. dims. 42m N-S; 42-48m E-W), largely levelled but defined by a bank (Wth 2m), an external fosse (Wth 5m) and an outer bank (Wth 2m) surviving as cropmarks, visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDR 42). The entrance (Wth 4m) is at the centre of the E side adjacent to the stream.
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.
