This barrow might not be a barrow. There is every chance that it is actually a henge!
A circular fosse and bank mark out an area 20m in diameter. The top of the bank is up to 1m above the bottom of the ditch. There is an apparent entrance way on the northeast side of the monument, which aligns with Howth. A single boulder rests in the ditch near to this entrance.
Beneath the grass traces of stone facing can be felt and seen around the bank. A similar feature to this was found on the henge at Lugg (County Dublin).
