What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 25m) defined from NE-S-NW by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; H 0.4m), and by a steep scarp (H 0.7m) with a low stone revetment at the N (upslope). There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.6m) at the NE, but no trace of a fosse 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. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
