The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a slight knoll. This is a slightly raised and circular, grass-covered area (diam. 35m; H c. 0.3-0.5m) bisected by a NNE-SSW field bank.
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.
