The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a NE-facing slope at the point where a slight W-E spur beings to develop. This is a subcircular scrub-covered area (dims. 21m NE-SW; 18m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.3-0.8m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m) with an external fosse (Wth of top 4-5m; D 0.5-0.9m) SE-NW and by the remains of a bank (Wth c. 5m; max. int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m) or scarp (H 1.4m) elsewhere. There is a ramp entrance (Wth 2m) at NE, and the monument is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and townland boundary.
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.
