Graveyard

What is recorded here

Situated on the floodplain of Ballydonnel Brook. Semicircular enclosure (dims. 85m E-W; 50m N-S) defined by a stony bank (W lm; H 0.5m) and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D lm), possibly a field drain. A small triangular area (dims. 35m E-W; 15m N-S) on the NE side is separated by a shallow fosse and contains a standing stone (WI006-012002-). There are no other internal features or indication of a church or graves. Starting at the S edge of the site a wide (Wth 7m) raised trackway crosses the low-lying marshy terrain along the floor of the Liffey Valley (100m to the SE). 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. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
