What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope overlooking and overlooked by steep slopes. Oval area (dims. 39m NE-SW; 29.5m NW-SE) bisected by a field bank and ditch extending NW-SE. The site is defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4-6m; 0.6-1.4m) from SE-S-NW and by an abrupt scarp (H 0.8m) at the NE beyond the intersecting field boundary. In the interior, very close to the bank at W, there is a sunken rectangular hut foundation (dims. 7m x 4m) and there is a low earthen bank (L 12m) in the NE sector. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at the SE. A disused trackway skirts the site along the NE perimeter. Said locally to be the site of a church (WI030-035----).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
