What is recorded here

Situated towards the N end of a N-S ridge with the narrow part of the W-E River Slaney (Wth c. 100m NE-SW) c. 170m to the NE. The rim of a collared urn and a small sample of cremated bone, probably representing an older adolescent, were recovered from what was probably a pit-burial in 1984 (Sikora 2011). 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 December, 2012
