What is recorded here

Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1839 and 1921 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a slight W-E spur in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It was described in the 1940s as a subcircular area (dims. 43m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank and external fosse (SMR file). It has been removed since the 1940s but is visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (2011). 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: 22 May, 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
