What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope overlooking the N-S Wicklow Gap, with the headwaters of a N-S stream c. 100m to the E. It is not marked on any map, but is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP T 39/40). This is a circular grass and bracken-covered area (int. diam. 34m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2-3m; H 0.5m). The entrance was possibly at the NE where the perimeter wall is destroyed. Cashel (WX002-060----) is c. 170m to the W. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 17 January 2012
