The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a broad N-S ridge. The cropmark of a large enclosure (dims. c. 145m NE-SW; c. 115m NW-SE) with straight sides at SE and SW is faintly visible on aerial photographs (MM (8) 10-15; (57) 0, 1). This is either a field boundary or the perimeter of what might have been an enclosed wood.
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.
