Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydicken Lower

Situated towards the top of a steep NW-facing slope overlooking the N-S River Slaney at a point where it loops to the W, and with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 80m to the E. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature that is largely missing NE-SW is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDJ 34). A slightly dished and grass-covered circular area (diam. c. 35m) is visible at ground level. 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: 31 August, 2012 Amended: 20 February, 2014
