The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very gentle S-facing slope in an established forestry plantation. Oval earthen mound (dims. 7m N-S; 6m E-W) in poor condition. The edge is eroded but it appears to retain its original shape (H 1.2m on the S side and 0.8m on the N side). There is a slight dip in the ground level towards the S, and the mound is flat and level. Marked on the first edition 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.
