What is recorded here

Depicted as a D-shaped area (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W) and described as the 'site fort' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located in a slight N-S valley in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains with the N-S Milltown Stream c. 50m to the W. Nothing is visible at ground level in pasture and there is no local knowledge of an antiquity. 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
