The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S-facing slope of Camlin Hill. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a ring-ditch (int. diam. 3m; ext. diam. 5m) that was partly exposed with an entrance (Wth c. 0.8m) at E (Doyle et al. 2010, 33-4). The ditch (Wth 0.42m; D 0.18m) was sampled but produced no material. Just 7m E of the ring-ditch is the concentrated core area of the flat cemetery (WX034-091----).
