What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle W/SW-facing slope with a much steeper slope to the S. Part of a complex of prehistoric sites on the lower western slopes of Lugnagun. About half of an oval or circular enclosure (max. diam. 78m) of which the NE portion has been removed. It is defined by a wall (Wth 3m), consisting of an inner and outer facing of continuous kerbing with a core of smaller stones and some earth, and in part by a stony bank (Wth 4-5.4m). At the W the wall has been incorporated into the modern field boundary. 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 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/2005).

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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
