'This site is situated in a low lying area of land 10m east of a stream (known locally as the Big Stream) which flows down to the north from the slopes of Knockawaddra Mountain, The stream is prone to flooding and has cut a steep gorge in the mountain slope. It later joins with the River Lee on its course to the sea. The site consists of a broad low mound measuring 8m N-S and 11m E-W. There is no clear evidence for the trough but a slight lowering of the height of the mound to the west may indicate its presence. The mound remains to a height of 0.57m and has been slightly damaged on its eastern side by an animal track. Here burnt soil and stone is visible in section.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
