Embanked enclosure

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on the W side of a broad N-S spur between the River Slaney on the E and a N-S tributary stream on the W that is called Redenegh in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1953, 101, 104). This is a natural triangular or oval promontory (dims 49m E-W; 38m N-S) in mixed woodland with cliffs (H c. 10m) at N and S, and the remains of a fosse visible as a vegetation change (Wth 4-8m) in pasture at the E (landward) side. The following above 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 August, 2012
