This is an oval grass-covered area (dims. 100m NE-SW; 60m NW- SE) defined by scarps (at SE: H 0.5m, Wth 5m; at SW: Wth 9m, H 1m), with the perimeter incorporated into a field bank SW-W and truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank N-E. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but Major’s Well, a natural spring is inside the perimeter at SW. Ring-work (WX039-028001-) is c. 100m to the NW.
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.
