What is recorded here

Prominently sited at the W end of a steep-sided E-W pasture ridge, around the S and W of which the River Liffey flows. A fairly well-preserved raised central, circular, earthen area (base diams. 10.1m N-S; 9m E-W; summit diams. 2.4m N-S; 2.2m E-W is girdled by a broad, level area (Wth 8.1-10m) which is in turn enclosed by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.1-0.9m; Wth 3.4-5.1m; ext H0.5-1.4m). An outer fosse, traceable WSW-N-ESE may be the result of later landscaping. Mature beech trees grow on the bank along the N perimeter, and one grows on the central mound. A second, possible barrow (KD029-012----) lies c.220 m to the N.
