The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gently rolling landscape. The faint cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a faint fosse or ditch is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDJ 3). Elements of the field system (WX048-024----) appear to be connected with its perimeter. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. The rath (WX048-024001-) is c. 200m 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.
