The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope at the foot of a steep slope in forestry. Shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Poorly preserved arc of earth and stone bank along an old field boundary at the SW (L 7m; Wth 2m; H 0.5m) is all that remains.
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.
