Marked as a square embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims. c. 30m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located on a small N-S spur with the headwaters of a small NW-SE stream c. 20m to the NE. It is described as a rectangular platform defined by a fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 1m) (Barry 1977, 215, WX 21). It has been removed since 1977 and 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.
