What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a S and SE-facing slope. An area of bedrock is split and a loose portion (dims. 4.8m NE-SW; 1.8m NW-SE; H 1.4-1.8m) is supported on a sidestone (dims. 2m NE-SW; 0.3-0.5m NW-SE; H 1m) at SE and the bedrock itself at NW. It is possibly connected with the making of millstones. 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: 29 February 2012
