Recorded monuments

• WX053-083 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a sub-rectangular enclosure (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a wide outer and narrow inner ditch feature separated by what was probably a field bank SW-NW-NE is visible on aerial photographs (MM (6) 13-17; (10) 8-9). It has rounded corners at NW and NE and probably incorporated field banks at E and S in its perimeter. It may be a small field. 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 March, 2014

• WX053-094 Ring-ditch

It remains unexcavated under a hard-core surface in a yard, but its precise location is not known. (Purcell 2002; 2004) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 March, 2014
