The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 90m to the E. No feature is visible at ground level in pasture. It is conjoined with rath (WX006-007----), which is immediately to the N and which it may have served as an annexe.
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.
