What is recorded here

Marked as a large platform enclosure (max. diam. of top c. 90m N-S) called Kilfive Rath with an internal mound (diam. c. 20m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and named but not marked on the 1940 ed. It was recorded in 1939 as a D-shaped area (dims c. 26m E-W; c. 14m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.2m) emerging out of the slope WSW-N-ESE (OSFM). It is situated towards the top of a NW-facing slope but was not visible in 1988 at ground level in pasture. 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: 23 November, 2012
