From archaeology.ie:

Description: Situated at the base of an elongated natural hollow. Circular platform (diam. 44m; H 2-2.5m) with a slightly dished summit (diam. 36m) defined by a partly natural, wide flat-bottomed ‘fosse’. No indication of a bank, entrance or internal features.

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.
