The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a small circular feature (diam. c. 20m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map, and situated on a rise in the valley of a small stream that is c. 50m to the E and c. 70m to the S but joins the N-S River Slaney c. 400m to the W. It is not visible at ground level but a ring-ditch (diam. c. 15-20m) is visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995).
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.
