What is recorded here
Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a steep NW-facing slope of Gibbet Hill. It was probably oval originally but it is now subrectangular (dims. c. 55m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) defined by an E-W field bank at S, a curved field bank SW–NW and scarp (H 1.5m) NW-NE, but the perimeter cannot be traced elswhere.
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.
