Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathturtin

Situated on a slight NW-SE spur with small NW-SE streams c. 300m to the NE and c. 550m to the SW and the W-E Aughnaglaur River is c. 450m to the S. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; H 0.5m) planted with coniferous trees and an outer fosse (Wth of top 4m; D 0.4m) SE NW, and by a scarp (H 0.3m) N SE. The entrance (Wth 7m) is at SE. 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: 16 August, 2012
