Description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) cut by a laneway shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and referred to in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 127). Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

Description
A cylindrical block of coarse-grained granite (Wth 80cm across) with a sub-rectangular, steep-sided basin (48cm x 45cm across the top; 42cm x 36cm across the base; D 18cm). The rim around the basin is roughly flat and damaged along one edge. The base is quite rough, and falls slightly to one side where there is a drain hole at the edge of the basin, set at a roughly 45° angle. The hole is 4cm across within the basin, narrows to 1cm, and expands again to 5cm across where it exits the stone. Believed to have come from Castletimon Church (WI036-009001-) (See WI036-009004- for original location record). Compiled by: Chris Corlett and Claire Breen Date of upload: 8 June 2012
