The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the steep N-facing slope of a W-E spur and just on the E side of a NNW-SSE road. It is described a 'Crishoge' on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. This is a triangular area in the corner of field (dims 25m N-S; 14m E-W at N) now planted with trees. There is a stile from the road at N, but there is no evidence of burial.
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.
