The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N/NE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 38m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6m; H 0.3-0.8m) and an external fosse (Wth 3m). A NW-SE field boundary cuts across the SW sector of the site. The entrance is a simple gap at the NE (Wth 5m). Attached to the site at SW there is a level subcircular area (diam. 30m) defined by a possible fosse which may be an annexe or related enclosure. No indication of internal features. There is a spring immediately to the N of WIthe site.
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.
