H 1.8m), and an external, flat bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.5-7m normally to 10m at N; Wth of base 2-4m; ext. D 0.2-0.6m normally to 1.2m at S). There is no recognisable entrance. 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.

Located at the crest on the W side of the valley (Wth of top c. 120m) of a small N-S stream.
