Embanked enclosure

Marked as a subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) bisected by an E-W field bank on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a SW-facing slope with the N-S Tomgarrow River c. 400m to the W. This is a D-shaped area planted in coniferous trees (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.5m) and no visible fosse, with a straight field bank at N. 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: 16 October, 2012
