What is recorded here
Situated on a fairly level landscape with a slight slope down to the W where a small N-S stream is c. 260m distant. This is a rectangular area (dims. 66m NW-SE; 62m NE-SW) in a coniferous forest with slightly raised corners defined by flat-bottomed moats (Wth of top 6m at NW to 10m at SE and c. 20m at SW; Wth of base 3m at NW to 6.5m at NE; D c. 1m generally to 2m at SW), except at SW where the moat is more rounded and ill defined. A leat enters at the W corner and exits at the S corner.
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.
