What is recorded here

Located at the crest of a severe W-facing slope (H c. 50m) down to the estuary of the Barrow/Nore/Suir that is c. 200m to the SW. The cropmark of a D-shaped/oval feature (ext. dims c. 80m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by four fosse features with the narrowest at the centre (int. diam. c. 20m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (41) 20-22; ASIAP (101) 33-35) taken in July 2000. It is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at NW and a NW-SE boundary with the severe wooded slope at SW. A NE-SW archaeological test trench (12E0159) just to the NW produced no evidence of this feature, although a cremation pit-burial (WX044-051----) was identified in the trench c. 150m to the NE (Ó Drisceoil 2012b) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 March, 2016
