What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 58m N-S; 58m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.5-1.6m; ext. H 0.9-1.3m) with some bushes SSE-ENE, which is incorporated into a field bank elsewhere. The entrance (Wth 5m) is at NNW, but there is no visible fosse. It has been removed since 1995 (OSI aerial photographs). 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: 26 April, 2012
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
