What is recorded here

Marked as a rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped enclosure truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank on the E side on the 1925 ed. It is located on a gentle E-facing slope in the foothills of White Mountain and was described in the 1940s as a circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by an earthen bank with slight traces of a fosse (SMR file). It has been removed since the 1960s, and nothing 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: 25 June, 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
