The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as circular embanked enclosure on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level, low-lying landscape. This is a subcircular, grass-covered area (dims 52m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by a curving field bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.7-0.9m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) and hedge NW-NE, and a scarp (H c. 0.8m) NE-SW which is slightly curtailed by a field bank and hedge SW-NW. There is no visible fosse but the entrance may have been at E where the scarp is less distinct.
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.
