What is recorded here
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a large D-shaped or subcircular enclosure (dims c. 60m NE-SW; c. 55m NW-SE) defined by a single wide fosse feature (Wth c. 3-5m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (5) 9-11, 16-17; (5) 17, 18, 34-37). It is on the NE side of a NW-SE laneway, which might truncate it slightly at SW. It is also visible on the OSi series of aerial photographs (2000) and Google Earth (2003).
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.
