The National Monuments Service's description
Located just on the SE side of an area of rock outcrop on a gentle E-facing slope. This is a subcircular area (dims. 38m N-S; 33m E-W) planted with deciduous trees and defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m at W to 7m at N; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 0.4-1.4m) SE NE and a scarp NE SE, with slight traces of a fosse at N. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at WSW, possibly recent.
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.
