Located on a level landscape with the original S shore of South Wexford Harbour c. 650m to the N. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single faint fosse feature is visible on digital aerial photographs (WX048-146_1 to _5) taken in July 2006. At N the perimeter overlies, or is overlain by, the perimeter of enclosure (WX048-146001-).
