What is recorded here

Situated on a very gentle E/N-facing slope. Circular site (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m at S - 4.5m NE-E; H 0.5-1.1m). At the W the bank merges with a more substantial field bank. At the E the upper part of the bank has been removed while the whole bank has been demolished along a c. 10m long segment at the SW. There is no trace of a fosse. A 1.2m gap at NW may be a modern feature. The interior is level and striped with lazy beds. 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 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.
