Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in the valley of a small NW-SE stream, which is c. 80m to the SW. Only the western segment of the enclosure survives as a D-shaped overgrown area (dims. c. 38m NW-SE; c. 31m NE-SW) defined by a low bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) SW-NW (C c. 30m) with no visible fosse or entrance. The enclosure is truncated by a NW-SE lane at NE and by a NE-SW farm lane at SE. Rath (WX024-037----) is c. 40m 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 25 June, 2012
