The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 55m) defined by a continuous fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: BDJ 18, BOD 71; MM (42) 24-27), with a ring-ditch (diam. c. 15m) within. A second fosse is visible outside the first SW-NE. It is not visible at ground level in pasture, although a NE-SW field bank has been removed since the 1970s. Achaeological testing (09E0033) c. 70m to the SW produced no archaeological material (Gregory 2012).

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.
