What is recorded here

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure with trees (ext. dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earth and shale bank with stone cladding (Wth 2m; H 2m) and trees SW N E, but the perimeter has been removed elsewhere by a farmyard. There is no visible fosse and there is a modern entrance at NNW. 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

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.
