Though invisible at ground level when walking through the cereal fields that now cover the site, this medieval earthwork reveals itself from above as a distinctive cropmark on aerial photographs. The rectangular enclosure measures approximately 60 metres from north to south and 42 metres from east to west, defined by water-filled moats that are between 2 and 4 metres wide.

First documented on the 1839 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the site was marked as a rectangular embanked or moated enclosure with slightly larger dimensions; about 65 metres north to south and 50 metres east to west. The enclosure sits in a naturally defensive position, with a stream running north to south about 40 metres to the east and a steep hill rising beyond that, providing both a water source and natural protection on its eastern flank.

The site gained renewed attention when Simon Dowling spotted it as a cropmark on Google Earth imagery from July 2018, confirming what had long been recorded in historical documents. Listed in Barry’s 1977 catalogue of moated sites as WX37, it represents one of many such medieval earthworks scattered across the Wexford landscape, likely dating from the Anglo-Norman period when these defensive farmsteads were common features of the Irish countryside.
