What is recorded here

Situated at a break in a marked S-facing slope. Circular enclosure (diam. 60m) defined by a discontinuous earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; H 0.8m) with an outer revetment of small boulders and a fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.6m) from NW-N. At the SW the fosse widens out to merge with a scarp (H 1.2m) which has an irregular facing of stones and small boulders. No trace of an entrance or internal features. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small mound enclosed by a bank. 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
