Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated just off the crest of a N-S ridge, on the E-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 49.5m NE-SW; 44.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 0.8m at SW to 2m at NE) with some bushes, an external fosse (Wth of top 4.2-6.5m; ext. D 0.6m at W to 1.2m at E) and an outer bank (Wth 2-3m; ext. H c. 0.5m) NNE-S-WNW, which has been removed elsewhere. The entrance through the inner (Wth 1.7m) and outer (Wth 2m) banks is at ENE. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 8 November, 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
