Located on a gentle E-facing slope with a slight W-E stream and townland boundary just to the N. An oval area of blackened soil and fire-cracked stones (dims. 14m x 7m) is visible when the area is ploughed. The burnt mounds (WX021-038----; WX021-038001-) are c. 45m to the SE.
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.
