Located on a N-facing slope close to the headwaters of a small NW-SE stream which is c. 50m to the NE. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature that is truncated by an ENE-WSW field bank at N is visible on aerial photograph (MM (12) 36).
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.
