The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by wide fosse or moat features (Wth c. 5m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (11) 12-13). The enclosure (WX032-049----) is c. 100m to the NNW and may be connected to this feature by the cropmark of a field bank with two ditches. This site may be a moated site.
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.
