Situated towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 4om) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (2) 31-5; (51) 28, 29). The outer perimeter of the concentric enclosure (WW047----) is c. 100m to the NW.

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.
