Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as 'Tumulus', and situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope in the valley of a SE-NW stream that joins the N-S River Lask c. 750m to the NW, and close to its source. It is also in full view of Kilnahue House, c. 70m to the W. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 8m) with some trees defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.5-1.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m) with an external stone facing. There is an entrance (Wth 1.5m) at S. Kilnahue church (WX007-061001-) is c. 100m to the SE. It may be a landscape feature.
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.
