The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (45) 6-8; ASIAP (6) 9-13). It is also visible on digital aerial photographs (WX048-129_1 to _5) taken in July 2006 and is connected with the cropmarks of some curvilinear field drains.
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.
