Though it doesn’t appear on any maps, this rectangular earthwork can still be spotted from above in aerial photographs, where the ghost of its ancient boundaries emerges as a distinct ploughed pattern. The site sits at the base of a north-facing slope, tucked below an east-northeast to west-southwest ridge that has watched over this spot for centuries.

What remains today is subtle but intriguing; a rectangular area roughly 47 metres north to south and 43 metres east to west, once defined by an earthen bank with an outer fosse or moat about two metres wide and equally deep. A stream still flows through the centre of the site from south to north, just as it would have done when this fortified enclosure was occupied during medieval times. These moated sites were typically built by Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous farmers between the 13th and 14th centuries, serving as defended homesteads in the rich agricultural lands of southeast Ireland.

The site underwent significant changes in the 1960s when the land was reclaimed for modern farming, effectively erasing most of its above-ground features. However, keen observers can still trace its outline in the pasture, where slight changes in vegetation mark the position of the old banks and ditches. This information comes from the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford, published in 1996 and updated by researcher Michael Moore in 2012, ensuring that even as these physical traces fade, the historical record of this medieval settlement endures.
