What is recorded here

Visible as a rectangular feature with bushes on the perimeter on vertical aerial photographs (GSIAP S 377/376) and situated in the valley of a small NW-SE stream that joins the W-E Aughnaglaur River c. 500m to the SSE. It was visible in 1987 as a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. 30m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) defined by lusher vegetation (Wth 4-6m) on the moats, with a leat at W corner leading to the stream c. 30m to the SW, and an entrance causeway (Wth 5m) towards the E end of the NE moat. 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: 27 August, 2012
