Marked as a circular enclosure with a wide bank or two banks (ext. diam. c. 75m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a quarry (diam. c. 50m) on the 1924 ed. It is situated on a prominent W-E spur with a NW-SE stream c. 200m to the N, and the sea-shore is c. 1.9km to the SE. This is a raised grass and scrub-covered D-shaped area (dims of top 40m N-S; 26m E-W) occupying the top of a hillock, with an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.5m), perhaps modern, at the straight E side and scarps (H 3-4m) elsewhere. The perimeter at NW has been quarried. The enclosure has been identified as the 'Ardladhru' of Irish mythology (Sexton 1925).
The following 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.
