What is recorded here

Located on the flood-plain of the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 140m to the SE and a smaller NW-SE stream immediately to the N. Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40-45m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Slight traces of circular area defined by fosse (diam. c. 30m) were visible in the 1940s (SMR file). No featire is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 30 April, 2012
