• WX024-035001 Enclosure
  Description

  Depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 70m) and described as a graveyard on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map.

The site is situated in the valley of the NE-SW Poulmounty River in the foothills of White Mountain with the stream c. 40m to the W. This is a subrectangular platform (diam. c. 50m), locally known to be stony, but there is no evidence of a church or of burial in a root crop. 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: 25 June, 2012

  Depicted faintly as a rectangular structure (dims. c. 15m N-S; c. 8m E-W) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the site of 'Warren's Castle' both the 1839 and 1925 eds.
