What is recorded here
Situated on a slight E-facing slope, it is marked as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature on the 1925 ed. It is described locally as an enclosure which was removed c. 1980. It is visible as a D-shaped cropmark enclosure (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature on aerial photographs (MM (9) 9-12). It is not visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
