The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope with the N-S Tomgarrow stream c. 80m to the W. This is a circular scrub-covered area (diam. 37m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 6m; int. H 0.6 1.2m; ext. H 0.8m). There is no visible fosse or entrance. It has been removed since 1995 (OSI aerial photographs).
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.
