The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular mound (diam. of base c. 35m) and situated on a level landscape between quarries c. 20m to the W and c. 40m to the S. It is described locally as being c. 6m in height. It was removed c. 1970, and was probably a spoil mound from the quarries. Drinagh church (WX042-013001-) is c. 70m to the WNW.
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.
