Embanked enclosure

Marked as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 35m N-S; c. 20m E-W) truncated by a N-S field bank at E on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a small D-shaped area (dims. c. 17m N-S; c. 14m E-W) on the 1924 ed. It is situated on a slight rise of an E-facing slope with higher ground c. 200m to the N and c. 370m to the SW. This is a D-shaped, grass and scrub-covered area defined by a straight stone clad field bank at E (L 18m) and an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.4-1.2m) S-W-N (dim. 16m E-W). There is no visible fosse or entrance. 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: 5 November, 2012
