What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle to marked W-facing slope. Quadrangular enclosure (dims. 35m NW-SE; 12m (at the NW) - 17m (at the SE)) defined by a low tumbled stone wall, except at the NW where a forestry track encroaches on the site. No indication of an entrance; the interior is stony and uneven. It is marked as 'Grave Yard' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A stone inscribed pillar (WI016-005----) stands c. 200m to the W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
