What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope. This is a flat, circular, grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) defined by traces of a low bank (Wth c. 4-5m; int. H 0.1-0.3m) or scarp E-S-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: 1 March, 2012
