What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a low NW-SE spur with a W-E stream c. 125m to the N and a NW-SE stream c. 160m to the SW. The sea-shore is c. 1.6 km to the SE. A curve in a field bank SW-NE (C 40m) is the only visible indication at ground level. 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: 18 June, 2012
