What is recorded here
Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1839 and 1921 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a slight W-E spur in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It was described in the 1940s as a subcircular area (dims. 43m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank and external fosse (SMR file). It has been removed since the 1940s but is visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (2011).
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.
