What is recorded here

Situated on level ground over-looking a gentle W-facing slope. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) with a very slight scarp surviving to mark the W perimeter. Test trenching (Excavation Licence 08E0323 and 08E0504) carried out in 2008 immediately to the W and NW of this enclosure uncovered three linear features and a possible pit and post-hole (Kavanagh 2011, 377). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 13 December 2012 Revised by: Claire Breen
