The National Monuments Service's description
An intertidal survey (19D0034) of Wexford Harbour was conducted by aerial drone and identified numerous features including two fish-traps which were subsequently inspected at a low spring tide. This feature consists of 18 posts (diam. 3-10cm; H 9-27cm) generally aligned NE-SW (L c. 50m) with some collapsed panels of wattles. (Bangerter 2019, 33)
