The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a fairly level, low-lying landscape. The cropmark of subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (13) 9–11), although it might represent an old meandering stream.
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.
