The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) and described as 'site of rath' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a slight NW-facing slope, but no feature is visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
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.
