The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the tip of a short and low W-E spur (L c. 100m E-W) and at the crest of its N and E-facing slopes. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single fosse is only visible on iMAPs (2022). The cropmark of a WNW-ESE field bank and county boundary with Wicklow that has a ditch on either side is also visible in the same image overlying the enclosure towards the perimeter at N. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
