  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 44m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by a field bank and hedge, which is the townland boundary with Linziestown S-W-NE, and an eroded but grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 8.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) NE-S. There is no visible fosse, but the original entrance may have been at the E where there is a dip in the perimeter (Wth 12m). 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 October, 2013

• WX047-135001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a bivallate enclosure is is visible on aerial photographs (MM (43) 16-21). The inner enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is defined by a fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) that may be open to the SE. The outer enclosure (int. diam. c. 50m) is defined by a substantial fosse feature (Wth c. 3-5m) that has a distinct opening (Wth c. 5m) at SE. At the centre of the inner enclosure there is a ring-ditch (diam. c. 8m) that is open to the N. It is conjoined with a second ring-ditch (diam. c. 8m) to the SE that is open to the SE and may be incorporating the entrance to the inner enclosure. The outer fosse at W cuts another ring-ditch (diam. c. 15m) defined by an unbroken fosse feature. About 10m N of the outer fosse at N there is another ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m), whose defining fosse feature appears to be continuous. The surrounding area is covered in the cropmarks of single drains creating rectangular fields (dims c. 20m x c. 50m to c. 50m x c. 50m) covering an area of c. 3 ha. The drains appear to overlie the enclosures and ring-ditches, and no breaks are visible in these drains that probably represent an 18th century field system.
