What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a N-S ridge in a poor upland area with extensive views especially to the N and W. Within an oval cashel (WI042-027----). An oval hut or house site (dims. 7m x 5m) defined by a line of loose stones and set boulders lies just N of the centre of the cashel. It has an entrance (Wth 0.8m) at W, and a marker cairn (possibly a trig point) at N. 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. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 01 October 2012
