What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of a S-facing slope with a small NE-SW stream c. 200m to the SE. This is a raised and scrub-covered oval area (dims. 28m E-W; 22m N-S; H 3.5-4.7m) defined by a flat bottomed fosse (Wth 6.5m; ext. D 0.6m) surviving W NE. It is listed as a motte (Colfer 1987, 99). 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: 4 September, 2012
