What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope and on the E side of a SE-NW valley, but the stream is c. 150m to the SW. A kidney-shaped area of burnt and broken stones and black earth (dims. 15m NW-SE; 10m NE-SW) with an opening at NE is visible when the area is ploughed. 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: 25 January, 2013
