Located in an undulating landscape with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 50m to the NE. This is a raised wooded rectangular area (dims. 38m NE-SW; 35m NW-SE) defined by a slight earthen bank which may be recent. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) on the NE side. A moat (Wth 6m; D 2m) is only visible on the SW side. (Barry 1977, 223, WX 83) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
