The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a W-facing slope in the valley of the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 100m to the W and c. 600m from its confluence with the NW-SE River Slaney. This is an overgrown earth and stone mound (diam. 15m; H 1.5–2m) with traces of a kerb protruding through the mound from W–N. The standing stone (WX020-002001-) is c. 10m to W, and the flat cemetery (WX020-001----) is c. 300m to the NW on the other side of the River Bann.
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.
