The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) and described as 'site of Rath' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a level landscape, but there are no visible remains at ground level in pasture. Traces of it can be seen as a cropmark on an OSI aerial photograph series (1995).
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.
