The rectangular enclosure, measuring roughly 40 metres square on those early Ordnance Survey records, sits above a small stream that flows from southwest to northeast about 250 metres away. Today, this historical site remains visible from above, captured clearly in aerial photographs taken in 2000 by the Ordnance Survey Ireland.

The site itself consists of a grass-covered rectangular platform, stretching 33 metres from east-southeast to west-northwest and 26 metres from north-northeast to south-southwest. What defines this ancient enclosure are its surrounding moats; now appearing as subtle depressions in the landscape, three to six metres wide, marked by changes in vegetation that trace the outline of what was once a defensive water feature. These earthworks would have originally surrounded a medieval homestead, likely dating from the 13th or 14th century when Anglo-Norman settlers established fortified farmsteads throughout the region.

Though time has softened its edges and filled in much of its defensive ditches, the moated site at Barmoney continues to tell its story through the gentle undulations in the ground. It stands as one of many such sites scattered across County Wexford, remnants of a time when isolated rural dwellings required both agricultural space and defensive capabilities. The site was documented by Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford, ensuring its preservation as part of Ireland’s medieval heritage.
