What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope at the edge of steeper ground. Circular area (diam. 28m) with a raised interior defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2-2m) from NW-E-SW with an outer drystone facing, possibly not original. There is an outer fosse (Wth 1-1.8m; D 0.3m) from N-SE. The interior is level and appears to have been infilled to provide an extension to a horse-training paddock to the W where both the bank and fosse have been removed. The interior is now c. 1m higher than the outer ground level. No indication of an entrance 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.
