The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground in woodland. Oval area (dims. 40m N-W; 35m E-W) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.8m (max. 1m at the E); ext. H 1-1.2m), externally faced by a near-vertical drystone wall. At the W the upper portion of the bank has been pushed inwards in order to re-align a field boundary, leaving a large pile of stones, earth and tree stumps. The line of the bank is still visible as a scarp (H 0.6m). No indication of an external fosse or internal features. The entrance is a simple gap (Wth 2m) at the NE. Shown 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.
