Indicated

Marked as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) defined by a field bank in an area of small fields only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a level landscape that has been largely reclaimed, with the E shore of Lady’s Island Lough c. 60m to the W. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 8.75m E-W; 8.25m N-S) defined by granite boulders of various sizes that have probably been deposited on the perimeter as field spoil (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-0.7m). There is some evidence of an underlying bank at W, and there is an entrance gap (Wth 0.5m) at ENE. It may be a barrow. 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: 25 March, 2014

A Neolithic ring barrow or small ceremonial enclosure, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its survival on early Ordnance Survey maps suggests it was a locally notable feature, though its wider archaeological significance remains unclear due to limited recorded investigation.
