Described as the 'Moat of Kiltriske' in the Civil Survey (1654-6) description of the boundary of Donaghmore parish (Simington 1953, 41), and situated on a low E-W ridge. This is a flat-topped earthen mound (diam. of top 12m; diam. of base 20m; H 1.5–1.8m) with some trees. The top is defined by a slight bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m) and there are slight traces of a fosse (Wth 3m) at the base on the E side. Kiltrisk church site (WX022-003001-) is c. 330m to the NNE.
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.
