What is recorded here

Marked as a subcircular enclosure (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated at the bottom of the E-facing slope of Bree Hill with the source of a small N-S stream c. 150m to the E. This is a raised and grass-covered rectangular area (dims. 31m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by scarps at E (Wth 4m; H 0.6m) and S (Wth 6.5m; H 1m), an infilled moat (Wth 12m; D 0.3m) at N and a moat (Wth 3m) connected with field drainage and a field bank at W. Moated site (WX025-033----) is c. 120m to the 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: 2 July, 2012
