What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) that is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at SE on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located on a S-facing slope of Pallis Hill. This is a circular, grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 30m) defined by wide low bank (Wth 5–6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m) and an external fosse (Wth of top 5m; D 0.2m). There is no visible entrance. Moated site (WX002-017----) is c. 90m to the W. 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: 27 January 2012
