The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a slight S-facing slope. This is a raised, circular, grass-coverd area (diam. 27m) defined by scarps (H 0.8-1.20m). There is no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
