What is recorded here

Located on a little bluff overlooking a small NE-SW stream just to the NW. This was an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims. 42m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5-7m; int. H c. 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 0.7m at E to 2.8m at N and 3.5m at W), with an external fosse (Wth of top 6m; ext. D 0.5-1m) E-S-W on the uphill side. The interior is slightly raised at N. There was an entrance (Wth 4m) at E and a ramp entrance (Wth 3m) through the bank at W was probably not original (SMR file). It was removed since 1988. 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: 13 September, 2012
