Located on a W-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 200m to the W. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single silght fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDP 8). No feature is visible at ground level in a root crop. It is visible as a cropmark on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2005).
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.
