Situated on fairly level ground. A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDJ 77, BGN 11). The site is bounded at the N by a dried-up stream bed and at E by a cliff-edge. A pit is visible on the photographs along the line of the fosse at SE and another fosse extending from the W may indicate a possible annexe. Not visible at ground level. A large complex of ring-ditches (WI031-012001- to WI031-012007- and WI031-046----) occurs in the field to the S of this site and there is a possible promontory fort (WI031-047----) c. 100m to the NE. There are also traces of a double-ditched linear feature visible on the aerial photograph c. 40m to the NW.
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.
