Concentric enclosure in Kilcannon

Situated on the flood-plain of the NE-SW River Slaney, backing onto the river at SE. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDJ 48) separated from the cropmark of an outer fosse by 15m to 25m. The outer enclosure backs onto the River Slaney (max. ext. dim. c. 80m). It is not visible at ground level in pasture, but the cropmark is visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2005). 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: 31 May, 2012
