Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clongeen

Situated on a broad plateau at a point where the townland boundary with Ballybrack curves around it W-N. It is known locally as 'Rath na Tine' (rath of fire), and is said to have been removed in the late 19th century or early 20th century. It is visible as a slightly raised and dished circular area (int. diam. c. 25m; ext. diam. c. 35m). 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: 19 February, 2013
