What is recorded here
Located at the W edge of a slight N-S ridge. This is a slightly raised and overgrown circular area (diam. 32m) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1–1.5m) E–S-W and a scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Archaeological monitoring (02E0261) outside a 20m buffer zone SW-N-E failed to produce any related material (O'Donnell, 2004).
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.
