Marked as a circular embanked enclosure bisected by a NE-SW townland boundary on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a broad plateau. Only the N part survives in Coolnacon townland as a slightly raised, D-shaped scrub-covered area (diam. c. 30m NE-SW; c. 15m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at NNE: Wth 3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2m) and external fosse (at NNE: Wth of top 3.7m; Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.8m), partly re-cut. There is no visible entrance. 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: 15 August, 2012
