What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. Bivallate circular ringfort (diam. c. 28m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-3.5m; H 0.3m), an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; max. D 0.5m) and an outer bank (Wth 2m; H 0.8m). No indication of an entrance or internal features; the site is very overgrown. The site is clipped at the NE by a lane flanked by earthen banks. 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
