• WX018-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked as a cirucular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50-55m) surrounded by a field bank W-N-E on the 1839 and 1921 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a SE-facing slope. The site has been removed but it is possible to trace the outline of two banks and an intervening fosse as a vegetation mark (int. diam. 31m; max. ext. dim. 59m). There is a break in the outer bank SE–SSW. It is visible as a cropmark on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2005) and on Google Earth (2011). Two fosses are visible on later Google Earth images as reported by Simon Dowling. Rath (WX018-019----) is c. 80m to the SE. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (14/07/2018) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX018-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a S-facing slope. This is a D-shaped, grass-covered area (dims. 37m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.2-5m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.6-1.2m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4.8-5.7m; ext. D 1.2-1.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 4.2-5m; ext. H 1.3-1.5m) NE-S-NW. The enclosing features are truncated by a WNW-ESE field bank at N. The entrance through the inner (Wth 2m) and outer (Wth 4.5m) banks is at SE. A S-N field bank is attached to the perimeter at SW, which is also altered by quarries at E, SW and NW. Rath (WX018-018----) is c. 80m to the NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
