What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embnaked enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 30m) and 1924 (ext. diam. c. 35m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated just off the crest of a SW-facing slope. It has been removed but is a circular area (diam. 18m) of darker soil visible when the area is ploughed. 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 January 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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