This rectangular earthwork enclosure, measuring approximately 70 metres north to south and 45 to 55 metres east to west, occupies a gentle southeast-facing slope near the source of a small stream that flows towards the southeast. Though virtually invisible at ground level today, this site represents a fascinating glimpse into medieval Irish settlement patterns.

The enclosure first appeared on historical maps in 1839, marked on the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map as an embanked or moated site. According to archaeological surveys conducted in 1977 by Barry, the site consisted of a raised platform surrounded by a dry moat, roughly 2 metres wide and 1.5 metres deep. These moated sites, common throughout medieval Ireland, typically housed the timber or stone dwellings of Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families between the 13th and 17th centuries. The moat served both defensive and drainage purposes, whilst the raised platform kept buildings dry in Ireland's notoriously damp climate.

By 1988, when archaeologists revisited the location, centuries of agricultural activity had rendered the earthworks almost completely undetectable in the pastoral landscape. This gradual erasure is typical of many Irish medieval sites; ploughing, grazing and natural erosion slowly reclaim these monuments, leaving only subtle traces that trained eyes might spot in the right light. The site's documentation in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford ensures that even as physical evidence fades, the historical record of this small but significant piece of Ireland's medieval heritage endures.
