The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level landscape, and just S of an E-W road that curves around the perimeter NNW-NNE. This is a slightly raised and grass-covered subcircular area (dims 45m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by a degraded earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext. H 0.9-1.2m) with an external stone facing. There is no visible fosse or entrance but there is a hedge on the perimeter S-NW.
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.
