The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the top of a small rise on a gentle SE-facing slope. A subcircular cropmark (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AOX 49). It is not visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
