What is recorded here

Marked only on 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on an E-facing slope. This is a circular area (diam. 21m) defined by low earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4-1m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 1.2m; D 0.4-0.6m). There is no visible entrance, and it is within a coniferous forest. 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: 15 March 2012
