This moated site consists of a raised rectangular platform measuring 23 metres north to south and 17.5 metres east to west, now covered in thick scrub vegetation. The platform retains traces of what appears to be an internal bank at its northeastern corner, suggesting this was once a more elaborate defensive structure.

The platform is partially encircled by a moat that would have served as both a defensive feature and a status symbol for its medieval occupants. This water-filled ditch, measuring between 6 and 7 metres wide with an internal depth of 1 to 2 metres, survives primarily on the northern and eastern sides; the southern and much of the western sections have been lost to time and agricultural activity. Such moated sites are characteristic of Anglo-Norman settlement patterns in medieval Ireland, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, when colonists sought to establish fortified homesteads in newly conquered territories.

Archaeological surveys conducted by Barry in 1977 first documented this site systematically, designating it as WX 98 in the county’s archaeological records. The site was later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford published in 1996, with subsequent revisions by researcher Michael Moore in 2012. While the dense vegetation now obscures many of the site’s original features, the surviving earthworks offer a tangible connection to Wexford’s medieval landscape, when such moated sites dotted the countryside as centres of agricultural estates and symbols of Norman authority in Gaelic Ireland.
