Marked as a subcircular enclosure on the 1839 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, this raised platform measures approximately 31 metres north to south and 28 metres east to west. The site sits about 150 metres west of a small stream’s source, its grassy surface concealing centuries of history beneath.

The earthwork’s boundaries tell a story of medieval defensive architecture. Along its eastern edge, a scarp rises 0.6 metres high across a width of 4 metres, whilst the southern boundary features a more substantial scarp; 6.5 metres wide and a full metre in height. The northern side preserves evidence of an infilled moat, now barely 0.3 metres deep but still traceable across its 12-metre width. To the west, a 3-metre-wide moat connects to the modern field drainage system, bordered by a field bank that marks the site’s western extent.

This earthwork doesn’t stand alone in the landscape; another moated site lies just 120 metres to the south, suggesting this area held particular significance during the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the 13th to 15th centuries and were often associated with Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in Ireland. The proximity of these two sites, combined with their defensive features and strategic positioning near a water source, points to a carefully planned medieval landscape that once dominated this corner of County Wexford.
