Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located on a slight SE-facing slope. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), probably defined by two fosse features, is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDR 12). It is not visible at ground level. Archaeological testing (19E0130) c. 100m to the E produced no related material (McLoughlin 2019; excavations.ie 2019:065). 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: 8 November, 2012 Revised: 9 November 2020
