What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 70m) only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6- inch map, and situated on top of a broad N-S ridge. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Ringfort (WX036-010----) is c. 35m to the E. 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
