The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight E-facing slope. A short section of a souterrain passage (L 3.1m; Wth 1.15m; H 0.65m) aligned N-S and with a lintelled roof was investigated in 1968 (O’ Riordain 1969).
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.
