The National Monuments Service's description
According to Kinahan (1883-4, 40) there is a stone circle ’20 feet by 16 feet’ (dims. c. 6.1m x c. 4.9m) at Carrickbyrne Hill consisting of one fallen and seven spaced uprights ‘height 2 feet (H c. 0.6m)’ that have their long axes on the perimeter. Its location is not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996) where it is classified as a cairn. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
