What is recorded here

'The site affords excellent views from west through south to east. This enclosure is oval in shape. The enclosing bank is substantially denuded, and survives best at west where it is 6.00m in width. The average external height of the bank is 0.30m, internally the bank measures 0.50m in height. The interior is featureless and has a slightly dished appearance. Total dimensions of the site are 42.0m E-W by 50.0m N-S (this does not represent the true N-S extent of the enclosure as it has been truncated by the wood). No trace of a ditch, either internal or external could be found.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
