Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a broad NE-SW ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a complete earthen bank (at E: Wth 6.5m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2.4m), with traces of an external fosse (at E: Wth of base 4-5m; D 0.2m) N SE. The entrance may have been at the SE where the perimeter appears to be lower. 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
