The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the flat bottom of a small N-S valley with a small N-S stream c. 10m to the W. This is an almost circular area (diam. 30m NE-SW) in mixed woodland with one square corner at the SE. It is defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m) and a flat-bottomed moat (Wth of top 6-6.5m; Wth of base 2.8-3.2m; D 0.4m at SW to 1.7m at NE). There is a causeway (Wth 2.2m) with a stone revetment at NE. Archaeological testing (04E1676) in two fields to the W, c. 20m distant at the closest point failed to produce archaeological material (Noonan 2005; xxcavations.ie 2004:1815).
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.
