The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a rise in a low-lying landscape with the sea-shore c. 1 km to the SE. This is a rectangular grass and scub-covered area (dims. 48m E–W; 43m N–S) defined by a flat-bottomed moat (Wth 6m; D 1.5m) at E and S which had recently been filled in at W and N in 1987. There is a bank (Wth 4m; H 0.4m) on the N side. A mound (diam. of base 13m; diam. of top 3m; H 3m) at the SW corner is known locally as the 'moat'.
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.
