I have driven past this place many times and had thought that it had disappeared. Marked as a mound on the map I had expected to see a lump in the fields, which is definitely not visible.
I decided to take a walk down the little lane anyway and take a look. It is still there and sits nestled in a dip by a stream. One of the things that I noticed straight away was that it is directly between the peaks of Djouce and The Great Sugar Loaf. From the base of the mound, in the dip, you can see neither, but up on the mound you can see both.
From Enniskerry follow the R760 and then the R755 south. After about 2km along the R755 you will be passing The Great Sugar Loaf on the right. Just after you pass a road to the right look out for a track on the left. It is possible to park here. Walk around the track for about 200m and the mound is in a dip to the right.
