The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a S-N valley, with the stream, which is also the boundary with Kiltillahan townland, running through the E moat. Rectangular, slightly dished, grass-covered area with slightly raised corners (dims 54m NW-SE; 52m NE-SW) defined by flat-bottomed wet moats (Wth 8-11m; D 1.3-2m) with bushes on the edges on all four sides. There is no visible entrance, and the counterscarp bank at E may be modern.
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.
