  Situated on a rise in a gently undulating but fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by one faintly visible feature can be seen on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDI 89). It is truncated slightly by a NNE-SSW field bank at E, and it is not visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 20 August, 2013
