The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDI 93). It appears to be attached to the ring-ditch (WX048- 040002-), which is just to its NE, and it is c. 15m W of enclosure site (WX048-040001-). 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.
