The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the top of a slight S-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVK 61; BDJ 15) with a smaller enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse attached to the perimeter at W. Three or four pits are visible in the interior of the larger enclosure which was probably a rath. The larger enclosure is visible on the ground as a slightly dished grass-covered area defined by a low bank (Wth 7 10m; H up to 0.6m), but the attached enclosure is not visible at ground level. Enclosure (WX047-062002-) is c. 55m to the NW,
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.
