The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure with three ditch features (int. diam. c. 20m; max. ext. diam. c. 50m) is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BGF 12, BGP 82). Slight traces of a bank (Wth c. 20m; H c. 0.5m) are visible on the ground at E and W.
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.
