Situated on a NE-facing slope in the foothills of White Mountain. This is a circular area (diam. 43.5m NW-SE; 41.5m NE-SW) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4.5m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m), with external stone cladding E-S. There are some gaps in the perimeter at W but the original entrance cannot be identified, and there is no visible fosse. It is overlain by a NE-SW field wall that zig-zags across the site; it is planted with coniferous trees to the SE and is covered in scrub to the NW of this feature. Archaeological testing (07E0075) immediately to the N uncovered linear stone features that may be elements of a field system (Tierney and Rooney 2007).
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.
