What is recorded here
This is depicted faintly as a rectangular area (dims. c. 45m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) and described as ‘Site of fort’ on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a SE-facing slope of the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. No feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
