What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30-35m) only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a shallow N-S valley. This is a dished subrectangular and grass-covered area (dim. c. 36m NW-SE) defined by a widely spread and grassed 'bank' (Wth c. 15m) W-N-S. This feature may be related to quarrying or the provision of bank material for the headwaters of a N-S stream just to the E, but the site was probably a ringfort. 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: 14 September, 2012
