- WI005-080 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a gentle W/SW-facing slope with a much steeper slope to the S. Part of a complex of prehistoric sites on the lower western slopes of Lugnagun. About half of an oval or circular enclosure (max. diam. 78m) of which the NE portion has been removed. It is defined by a wall (Wth 3m), consisting of an inner and outer facing of continuous kerbing with a core of smaller stones and some earth, and in part by a stony bank (Wth 4-5.4m). At the W the wall has been incorporated into the modern field boundary. 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 monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/2005).
- WI005-086 Hut site
Description
Situated on level ground with gentle SW-facing slopes above and below; overlooking the River Liffey to the SW. An irregular oval of granite boulders on the E side of a low rectangular house or hut platform (20m x 15m; H 0.5m). Some of the boulders appear to have been displaced from the edge of the platform. 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
- WI005-087 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope above steeper ground leading down to the Kings River. Irregular enclosure (dims. 16.4m x 16m) defined by an earth and stone bank faced inside and outside by large stones set edge-to-edge. No trace of an entrance. There is a slight mound (dims. c. 8m x 4m) in the NW corner of the interior. 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
- WI005-089 Enclosure
Description
Listed as an 'enclosure' in the SMR (1986) based on aerial photographic evidence (GSIAP O 73/ N 332 (1973)). The enclosure was marked in the wrong location on the published RMP map of Co. Wicklow. A field visit to the wrong location in 1989 determined that it was an irregular rock-strewn area and not of archaeological significance. This enclosure is visible on the Air Corps aerial photograph taken in 1939 (see attached image) where it is shown in the field to the SE of the published RMP location. The curving arc of a hedgerow or bushes appears to follow the E enclosing element of the enclosure and is visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph and earlier OSI aerial photographs.

- WI005-120001 Bullaun stone
Description
On a SW-facing slope overlooking the Poulaphuca Reservoir. Currently used as grazing land. One of two bullaun stones (WI005-120001-, WI005-120002-) within a short distance of one another.

It had been pushed to the edge of the field, probably from a position E of its current position. It consists of a large granite boulder (1m x 1.75m), originally probably earthfast and only partially exposed. At one end there is a large oval basin (diam. c. 0.49m; D 0.19m).
