The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise at the edge of cliffs down to the sea-shore, which is immedately to the E. This is a circular, dished, grass and fern-covered area (diam. 28m E-W) defined by a flat bottomed fosse (Wth of top 8.5m; int. D 1-1.8m; ext. D 1.2-1.7m) with an external bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 0.3 1m) SW-N-NE and by a scarp (H 1m) elsewhere. There is no visible entrance.
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.
