What is recorded here
Marked as a subrectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a polygonal enclosure on the 1924 ed. It is situated on a gentle SE-facing slope in the foothills of Camross Hill. This is a polygonal, scrub-covered enclosure (int. dims. 34.2m E-W; 32.3m N-S) defined by five straight sections of a stone-faced earthen bank (Wth 1.3-2.7m; int. H 0.3-0.8m; ext. H 1-1.3m) supporting mature coniferous trees. The enclosure is truncated by an E-W field bank at N. 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.
