  Description

  Situated at the top of a low rise in undulating terrain. Circular area (diam. 23m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) and an external fosse indicated by a discontinuous hollow. The entrance consists of a gap (Wth 2m) at the SSW. There are no visible internal features. Archaeological testing, carried out immediately to the N in 2004, in advance of construction of a dwelling (Excavation Licence 04E1514) did not reveal anything of archaeological significance (Byrne 2007, 488). 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 revision: 11 January 2013 Revised by: Claire Breen
