Embanked enclosure

Located on a broad low hill. This is an oval grass and scrub-covered area with some trees surrounding a slight rise (dims. 59m E–W; 52m N–S). The perimeter is defined by interupted sections of an earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1-1.5m) E-S and a scarp (H c. 0.3m) elsewhere. An entrance through the bank at E may be modern, and there is no visible fosse. 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
