Marked as a small mound only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated in the valley of a small W-E stream on a steep E-facing slope, with the stream immediately to the S. It is described as an earthen mound ’20 feet by 18 feet and about 2 feet high’ (dims. c. 6m; H c. 0.6m) known as ‘Mullaun a plaugh’ that was thought locally to be a burial place of plague victims (Sheil 1921, 116). It was removed in 1978 when no human remains were recorded (Wexford People, 09-06-1978; 16-06-1978), and it may have been a fulacht fia.
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.
