Embanked enclosure

Marked as a rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims. c. 70m NW-SE; c. 70m NE-SW) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located at the N end of a small N-S ridge with the sea-shore c. 350m to the SE. Nothing is visible at ground level in pasture. It is listed as a moated site (Barry 1977, 214, WX 11). 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: 18 June, 2012
