• WX053-020 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 70m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 3-4m) is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, AYK 8). It is not visible at ground level in pasture, and is not known locally. However, the enclosure is visible on digital aerial photographs (WX053-020_1 to _4) from 2006, where a wide entrance gap (Wth c. 10m) at E is discernible, and it is even visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2000). 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: 21 March 2014
