What is recorded here
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45-50m) only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map, and situated on top of a small hill. The NW quadrant survives at ground level as a grass and fern –covered D-shaped area (dims 24m E-W; 19n N-S) defined by a scarp (Wth 2.5m; H 0.3-1m) W-N truncated by a NW-SE field bank at E and an NE-SW field bank at S. The vegetation mark of an outer fosse (diam. c. 90m NE-SW) can be seen NW of the NE-SW field bank on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2000).
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.
