This circular wooded enclosure, measuring 33 metres in diameter, is defined by a modest earthen bank that rises up to 0.7 metres on the inside and 1.5 metres on the outside. What makes this site particularly intriguing is its well-preserved water-filled moat, a flat-bottomed defensive ditch that runs around the perimeter, varying between 7 and 9 metres wide at the top and narrowing to 3.5 to 5 metres at its base.

The site’s entrance faces south-southwest, where a 4-metre-wide causeway crosses the moat, whilst a leat, or small channel, at the southern edge helps maintain the water levels. An outer bank encircles much of the site, reaching its most substantial proportions along the western, northern and eastern sides where it rises to a metre in height and serves double duty as a field boundary. This outer defensive work spans about 6 metres in width, creating an impressive triple-ringed fortification when combined with the inner bank and moat.

Inside the enclosure, a series of small earthen banks divide the space into rectangular cells, each roughly 10 by 5 metres. Whilst most of these divisions likely relate to later tree-planting activities, one raised platform against the northern bank stands out as different; measuring 10 metres east to west and 4.5 metres north to south, this feature may mark the location of a medieval dwelling. First documented by Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford, this moated site represents one of many such defensive homesteads that dotted the Irish landscape during the Anglo-Norman period, when rural landowners sought protection behind water-filled ditches and earthen ramparts.
