The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N-facing slope with steeper slopes above and below the site. Circular area (diam. 28m; max. ext. diam. 30.5m) defined by a low earth and stone bank (Wth 2.8m; H 0.2-0.6m). An outer boulder revetment survives along part of the N perimeter. At the NE a more substantial bank (largely clearance) (Wth 9m; H 2.4m) forms part of the circumference of the site. Marked 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.
