This wedge-shaped enclosure measures approximately 36.5 metres from north to south, with its northern side spanning roughly 40 metres and tapering to about 30 metres on the southern edge. The site is defined by substantial earthen banks that can reach up to 5 metres in width, though they now stand only 0.5 to 1 metre high internally. Whilst there may have been an external fosse, or defensive ditch, surrounding the banks, centuries of field clearance have obscured much of this feature.

The enclosure itself presents something of a puzzle to archaeologists. Unlike many similar sites from the medieval period, no internal features are visible within the enclosed area, and there’s no obvious entrance point through the earthen banks. The entire site has become heavily overgrown, making detailed examination challenging. Its current state suggests it may have been abandoned for considerable time, allowing nature to reclaim what was once likely a defensive or residential structure.

Adding to the site’s archaeological interest is its proximity to a burnt mound located about 40 metres to the southeast. These burnt mounds, common throughout Ireland, typically date from the Bronze Age and were used for cooking or bathing purposes. The relationship between these two features, if any, remains unclear, though their proximity suggests this area has been significant to local populations across different historical periods. The site was documented in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford in 1996, with updates based on more recent research compiled by Michael Moore in February 2012.
