Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Subcircular site (dims. 21m N-S; 17.5m E-W) defined from ESE-SW by a stony bank (Wth 1.7-2.7m; H 0.3-0.8m) with a low internal and external boulder revetment. Slight remains of bank at the W. From NW-E the site has been cut into the hillslope and is defined by a sharp drop (H 1m) which may have been surmounted by a stone bank. No indication of an entrance 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
