What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in landscaped demesne lands SW of Goldenfort House. Circular platform (diam. 30m; H 1m) with no trace of a bank, fosse or internal features. Human bones, including three skulls, were found during sand extraction at beginning of this century on the NE side. The site appears to have been utilised as a landscape feature, probably a tree-ring in the 18th century. (Price 1937, 127) 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
