What is recorded here

Located on a slight S and W-facing slope. This is a subrectangular or oval grass-covered area (dims. 44m E-W; 37m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5.5-8m; int. H 0.8-1.4m; ext. H 1m at N to 2-2.4m generally), with an external fosse NE-S-WNW (Wth of top 5.5-6.5m; D 0.3m). There is an entrance (Wth 2m) paved with stones across the fosse at SSW, and the perimeter is foreshortened by an outer field bank at W. 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
