What is recorded here

Marked faintly as a circular feature (diam. c. 40m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a broad NW-SE valley with a stream c. 80m to the NE. This is badly eroded monument that is visible as a slightly dished, circular, grass-covered area (diam. 28-29m) defined by widely spread bank SW-N-E, a wide fosse (Wth 11-14m), and the remains of outer bank (Wth 10-13m; max. H 0.6m) WNW-N-E that is incorporated into a field bank WSW-WNW (max. ext. diam. 56m E-W). It has no identifiable entrance. 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: 16 August, 2012
