The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 70m E-W; c. 60m N-S) curtailed by an E-W lane at S and described as the site of Fort Garrett on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a slight W-facing slope but it is not visible at ground level in pasture. The castle (WX030-013001-) is at the same location.
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.
