What is recorded here
Situated on a level low-lying landscape. The faint cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 30m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (11) 26-8) from c. 1990, but it was very uncertain. In July 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) captured a perfect image of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a single fosse feature with the straight side at SE and a possible entrance gap at NW. Rath (WX032-045001-) is immediately to the SW on the other side of an E-W field bank, now removed but the drains on either side are visible.
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.
