What is recorded here

Marked as a circular enclosure on 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated at the crest of a NE-facing slope down to the NW-SE River Slaney which is c. 350m to the NE. It is visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single fosse feature with an entrance gap at the E on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDJ 54). It 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: 31 May, 2012
