The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a hachured feature with an adjacent quarry only on the 1924 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located on a broad, low-lying ridge. This is a grass-covered earthen mound with some trees. It has a flat top (diam. of base 12m; diam. of top 7m; H 2.5m), but no visible ditch or other features.
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.
