What is recorded here

Situated on a low summit with extensive views. This is a low elongated mound (dims. 16m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; H 1m). The field boundary on the W side curves to respect the site. Shown as a circular mound on the 1837 OS 6-inch map (Healy 1975, 20). Geophysical survey was undertaken as part of the Lusk SEA for Fingal County Council. It identified an area of clear potential including a curving ditch (approx. 40m diam.) and a kink in the adjacent field boundary at the base of the mound. Increased responses within the interior of the ditch may represent occupational activity (Harrison 2007).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DU008-008
