Description
Marked as an embanked enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 75m) and 1924 (ext. diam. c. 65m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight N-facing slope. It is described in the 1940s as an oval area (dims. c. 38m E-W; c. 31 m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank (max. H 0.3m) and an external fosse that separates it from an outer bank (Wth c. 3-5.5m; H c. 1.5m) with an outer fosse (Wth c. 2.5-3m; max. D 0.5m). There were three entrances, none of which could be identified as original (SMR file). It is evident today as a slightly dished grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) and a curve in the field bank (C c. 35m) at SW. 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: 3, July, 2012

Description
Located on a slight SW-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a circular area (int. diam. c. 20m NE-SW; ext. diam. c. 40m NE-SW) defined by two fosses is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at NW at the edge of the inner enclosure, which is eccentrically placed within the outer fosse and the features are not visible NW of the field bank. It was first reported by Simon Dowling. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 6 March 2020
