What is recorded here

Situated on a very gentle NE-facing slope. Oval area (max. diam. c. 25m) defined by a very stony bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.5-0.9m) with evidence for a revetment of small boulders. There is a probable entrance (Wth 2m) at the SE, and a small hut site (diam. 4.5m) attached to the outside of the bank at the NE. No trace of a fosse or internal features. 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. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
