What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a prominent hill. This is a subcircular grass and fern-covered area (int. dims 80m N-S; 74m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5-2m; H 1-1.4m). There is no visible entrance or fosse, but there was a small upright stone (dims c. 0.25m x 0.25m; H c. 0.85m) (Macalister 1937) at the centre that is no longer present. 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.
