The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope down to low sea-cliffs and a beach. The faint cropmark of circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature and half eroded by sea, is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDI 82, BGF 81). Rath (WX045-054002-) lies c. 120m to the NW and rath (WX045-054001-) is c. 280m to the W.
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.
