What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m) defined by what might be a single bank feature is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP, WX 96, 31-3). Archaeological testing (03E0557) c. 50m to the NW at the closest point failed to produce archaeological material (McCarthy 2003; xxcavations.ie 2003:2009). 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: 5 September, 2012 Amended: 30 November 2020
