What is recorded here

Marked as a sub-triangular embanked area (ext. dims. c. 100m NE-SW; c. 70m NW-SE at SW end) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-incgh map with the SW end incorporated into the townland boundary with Grange Upper. It is located on a gentle S-facing slope in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It ws described in the 1950s as an oval or sub-triangular enclosure (dims 75m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) defined by earthen bank (SMR file). It may have been simply a field, and has been removed since 1955. 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: 22 May, 2012
