What is recorded here
Marked as a circular feature (diam. c. 60m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is located towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a NNW-SSE ridge. This is a circular grass and fern-covered area (diam. 27.5m E-W; 26.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank, best preserved at N and S (Wth 6.5 7.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m), and an external, flat bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.5-7m normally to 10m at N; Wth of base 2-4m; ext. D 0.2-0.6m normally to 1.2m at S). There is no recognisable entrance.
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.
