What is recorded here

Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 40m) and 1925 (ext. diam. c. 50m) eds of the OS 6-inch map and visible as a cropmark enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse feature with an entance gap at E on aerial photographs (MM (17) 19–20, 22). It is situated towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope with a NW-SE stream c. 60m to the NE. Nothing is visible at ground level in a cereal crop. 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
