The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture, c. 200m. N of Kilmurry South church and graveyard site (WI036-004----). Natural spring, now piped, marked by some bushes. It is indicated but unnamed on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 128) patterns were held here until the beginning of the 19th century.
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.
