What is recorded here

Marked as a D shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 90m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) that appears to have been truncated by a NE-SW field bank at NW on the1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a S-facing slope at the SE end of a NW-SE ridge. This is a subrectangular dished area (dim. c. 60m NW-SE; c. 60m NE-SW) planted in a root crop with a curve in the field bank (C c. 60m) at NW. 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
