Marked as a large enclosure described as 'Rathlyhar' on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and situated just E of the top of a broad, low hill. This is a circular area (diam. c. 110m) planted in a cereal crop and defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.6- 1.8m) and hedge. There are slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth c. 6-8m) visible as a slight dip down towards the base of the bank externally. There is an entrance (Wth of top 5.2m; Wth of base 2m), perhaps modern, at the W point.
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.
