What is recorded here
Situated on a slight S-N spur with SW-NE streams c. 150m to the NW and c. 250m to the SE. It was described in the 1940s (SMR file) as a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 25m) defined by a low earthen bank with an outer fosse, separated by a berm from an outer bank (int. H c. 1m; ext. H c. 1.5m), with traces of an outer fosse NE-S that was occupied by a farm lane elsewhere. Entrances at the N and SE were thought to be modern. It has been removed since the 1940s but an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGF 27) from the 1970s shows that it had three fosses.
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.
