What is recorded here

'This site is located in a large amalgamated field in gently sloping land, which is devoted to strip-grazing for cattle. All views to the north are obscured by the rise in the land, but the dominant aspect is to the south, south-east and south-west. Total dimensions of the site are 72.0m N-S by 62.0m E-W, the average width of the bank being 6.00m. The average height of the bank externally is 0.50m, the average internal height is 0.30m. No features can be discerned in the interior. A possible external ditch may be seen at west, 5.00m in width and 0.25m in depth, although this might also represent the remains of a now destroyed field fence.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 03 May 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
