The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and located on a fairly level landscape. This is a circular area (diam. 30m) planted in coniferous trees and defined by a slight bank or scarp (max. Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6 1.8m), with the remains of an external fosse (Wth of top 3.4m; D 0.7m) only visible NW-N. There is no visible entrance, and there is a spoil mound outside the perimeter SE-SW.
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.
