What is recorded here
Situated on a level landscape at the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. This is a subcircular, scrub-covered area (dims. 31m N-S; 28m E-W) with deciduous trees defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-5m; int. H 0.8-1.5m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) with no visible fosse. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at NW is probably modern, while the original entrance (Wth 2m) is at E.
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.
