Embanked enclosure

Marked as small rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims. c. 35m NE-SW: c. 30m NW-SE) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a gentle E-facing slope at the E foothills of Slievecoiltia. It is not visible at ground level in pasture, but it may be a moated site (Barry 1977, 213, WX 5). Moated site (WX034-047----) is c. 20m to the NE. 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: 12 September, 2012
