What is recorded here
Situated on the steep W-facing slope of Ballyminaun Hill. Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. No feature is visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological monitoring (19E0723) by M. McCarthy of a water pipe c. 60m to the SW at the closest point produced no archaeological material (excavations.ie 2021:55).
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.
