The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle E-facing slope with a small SE-NW stream c. 180-200m to the E and N. This is as circular domed, tree and scrub-covered area (int. diam. c. 47m) defined by two low earthen banks (Wth 3-4m; H 0.5m) separated by a berm (Wth up to 4m) and surrounded by a fosse or ditch and field bank, both probably modern. There is an entrance through both banks (Wth 2.5-4m) at E. (max. ext. diam. c. 80m)
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.
