The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1924 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small mound with a pit or quarry immediately to its W. This is a flat topped and scrub-covered, subcircular earthen mound (dims. of top 5.5m N-S; 4m E-W; dims. of base 21m N-S; 18m E-W; H 2 5m). There is a quarry immediately to the W, and the church site (WX027-012001-) is c. 180m to the WSW while the holy well (WX027-013----) is 30m to the NE. It is probably a quarry spoil heap.
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.
