What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope of Pallis Hill. This is a grass and scrub-covered earthen mound (diam. of base c. 30m; H over fosse 6-8m) defined by wide, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 1.5m), not visible SE–SW. The summit has been quarried but originally was flat-topped (diam. c. 15m). There is a tradition of the discovery of an urn here (Kinahan 1882, 159). 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: 27 Janusry 2012
