The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a rectangular feature (dims. c. 25m E-W; c. 15m N-S) described as 'Moneyboy Burial Ground' in italic lettering on the 1839 ed. of the OS-6 inch map and situated on the N-facing slope of a low rise. It was visible in 1978 as a slightly raised trapezoidal area (dims. 24m E-W; 2-8m N-S) with no evidence of burial (SMR file). It is not visible now at around level in a root crop.
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.
