Marked as a subrectangular or D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 70m NE-SW; c. 50m NE-SW) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level in pasture in a level, low-lying landscape, but it is visible as a cropmark of a sub-rectangular or pentagonal enclosure defined by the parch-mark of a wide earthen bank (Wth c. 5-10m) with inner and outer ditch features, on the OSI series of vertical aerial photographs (2000). It has been listed as a moated site (Barry 1977, 226, WX 101), but is more likely to have been a rath.
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.
