This is a circular area (diam. 8.2m) surrounded by a wet fosse (Wth 4.5–5.8m; D 0.8m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 1.5–2m). It is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW (max. ext. diam. 21.5m). Pond (WX006-083003-) is c. 30m to the SW. It is now in a coniferous wood. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 2 March, 2012
