What is recorded here

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 15 April 2011 Revised by: Claire Breen Shown on 1839 'OS 6-inch' map as oval wooded area enclosed by bank and on 1939 OS 6" map as raised oval planted area (dims. c. 70m N-S x 50m E-W). Possible plantation. No visible surface trace. Aerial photograph (GB95.FV.31) shows cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure defined by a fosse and with an entrance facing eastwards into a curvilinear annexe defined by a narrower fosse. A narrow curved fosse is located within the interior of the main enclosure. A cropmark of a crescentic feature is located immediately outside the south-west corner of the main enclosure, function and context unknown.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
