What is recorded here

Situated on a level landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 44m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by a field bank and hedge, which is the townland boundary with Linziestown S-W-NE, and an eroded but grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 8.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) NE-S. There is no visible fosse, but the original entrance may have been at the E where there is a dip in the perimeter (Wth 12m). 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: 14 October, 2013
