The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A circular cropmark (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDJ 65). Nothing is visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (07E0321) just to the SE produced no related material, (Stafford 2010). It is also faintly visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018).

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.
