What is recorded here

Marked as small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25-30m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated in a valley bottom with a SW-NE stream c. 60m to the SE. The confluence of this stream with the W-E Aughnaglaur River is. c. 100m to the E. This is a slightly raised D-shaped area (dims. 22m WNW-ESE; 17m NNE-SSW) defined by a slight but broad scarp (H 0.3-0.7m) that is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at S. It is known locally as Whelan’s Rath, and it has always been in this condition. 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: 15 August, 2012
