What is recorded here
Located on a slight E-facing slope. This is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims 40m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank and hedge best preserved (Wth 4.5-5.5m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 1.2-1.5m) S-N and reduced to a scarp (H 1m) E-S. The monument is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NE. There is an entrance (Wth 3m) at S, but there is no visible fosse. Archaeological monitoring (15E0412) of a gas pipeline c. 30m to the N in Area 7 produced no related material (Sutton 2018; excavations.ie 2015:422).
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.
