The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N/NE-facing slope overlooking the steep side of a river valley. A sub-rectangular enclosure defined by a fosse, visible as a cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDO 74). The enclosure is immediately SW of a circular enclosure (WI039-017001-) and may be an contemporary with it. The monument is possibly truncated by a road which runs NE-SW along the E side. Not visible at ground level. A ring-ditch (WI039-017005-) also visible as cropmark, is located to the SW.
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.
