What is recorded here

Located on a broad, low ENE-WSW ridge. This is a slightly raised, subcircular, grass-covered area (dims. 39m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 2.5m at NW to 4.7-6.3m normally; int. H 0.2-0.7m; ext. H 0.7–1.1m) that is incorporated into a field bank and hedge W-N-E. There is no visible entrance or fosse. 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: 11 April, 2012
