The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of a N-facing slope overlooking the SE shore of Bannow Bay, which is c. 300m to the NW. The faint cropmark of a bivallate enclosure (int. diam. c. 70m; ext. diam. c. 95m), with a possible third, inner fosse feature (diam. c. 50m), is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: ASW 66, AVK 84). It is not visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
