What is recorded here

Located on a slight hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45-50m) defined by a single wide fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) with an entrance gap at SE, is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, AVK 59). It is not visible at ground level in a cereal crop and is not known locally. It is also visible on digital aerial photographs (WX053-076_1 to _3) taken in July 2006. 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: 24 March, 2014
