I understand that Wicklow County Council is the registered owner of this monument, which is included in the Register of Historic Monuments and the Record of Monuments and Places under the National Monuments Acts. As owner, the Council is responsible for its upkeep and maintenance. If the Council, or indeed any other body acting with the Council's agreement, wish to undertake any works at the site, my Department's National Monuments Service will provide any guidance or advice required in relation to potential archaeological issues or statutory processes under the National Monuments Acts.
