The National Monuments Service's description
Set into a gentle E/SE-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 24m), of which about two-thirds survives, defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; H 1.2-2.5m) with drystone facing. The perimeter has been removed at the E through the construction of a farmyard and the W portion is masked by field clearance. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small enclosure.
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.
