What is recorded here
Situated on a broad, low hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature and bisected by a NW-SE field bank is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVK 72; AVK 74) taken in July 1968. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (21E0784) by M. McCarthy immediately to the S at the closest point produced no related material (excavations.ie 2021:229).
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.
