What is recorded here

Situated on a summit of the Blackstairs Mountains known as Poul Art. This is a flat-topped caim (diam. of top 5-7m; diam. of base 19m; H 1.7-2m) with some quarry holes excavated in it. It is surrounded by a grass-covered bank of stones (Wth 3m; H 0.3-0.5m) which is separated from the cairn by berm (Wth 2m) except from W-N where it is immediately adjacent. The bank is absent from E-S. 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
