Located on a slight NW-SE spur of the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains between river valleys with a NW-SE stream c. 80m to the S. It is marked as a rectangular wooded feature c. 150m S of Wilmount House on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, but it is regarded locally as a raheen. This is a rectangular grass and fern-covered area (dims. 32m NE-SW; 27m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.5-0.7m). The foundations of a rectangular building (dims. 16m NE-SW; 8.5m NW-SE), visible as a stone spread (Wth c. 2m), are within the interior. The enclosure has no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
