The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the top of a W-facing slope with the source of a small NE-SW stream just to the W. The stream joins the NNW-SSE Owenduff River c. 500m to the SW. This is a circular area of burnt and broken stone (diam. c. 15m) visible when the area is ploughed. It is visible as a dark area on the photographic images of Google Earth (2010).
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.
