The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embnaked enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 30m) and 1924 (ext. diam. c. 35m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated just off the crest of a SW-facing slope. It has been removed but is a circular area (diam. 18m) of darker soil visible when the area is ploughed.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
