This one near Reedstown in Co. Wexford has all but dissolved into the field, surviving only as a cropmark, the ghostly imprint of a circular enclosure whose single ditch shows up as a faint discolouration in aerial photographs rather than anything a walker would notice underfoot. It sits on a gentle northeast-southwest rise squeezed between the western shore of Lady's Island Lough and a small inlet of the same lake to the west, a quiet liminal position between land and water that would have suited a farmstead settlement of the early medieval period.

Ringforts, sometimes called raths when they are earthwork rather than stone constructions, were the basic unit of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically enclosing a family farmstead within a raised bank and outer ditch. The Reedstown example appears to have been absorbed into a later field system, with drainage works from that system attached directly to the perimeter of the enclosure, which is part of why so little survives above ground. The relationship between the enclosure and the surrounding field drains suggests the site was levelled and incorporated into agricultural use over the centuries rather than simply abandoned. A second rath survives approximately 140 metres to the north, making this a paired or clustered settlement pattern, something not unusual in areas of good agricultural land along the Wexford coast.
