What is recorded here

Marked as a circular enclosure with trees (diam. c. 50m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a hachured feature (ext. diam. c. 50m) on the 1940 ed. It was recorded in 1940 as a circular area (diam. c. 33.5m N-S; c. 31m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 3.5-c. 4.5m; H c. 1-1.5m) with no fosse (OSFM). It is situated on a slight W-facing slope, but is not visible at ground level in 1987. An area of black soil is said locally to be 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: 21 November, 2012
