Megalithic tomb - unclassified

The National Monuments Service's description

Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a slight N-S spur, with a NW-SE valley and stream c. 600m to the W and a N-S valley and stream c. 700m to the E. It is recorded as a small roofstone and supporting stones (OSFM). There is no trace of any structure and there is no local knowledge of one. The possible megalithic structure (WX006-002----) is c. 240m to the WSW, and standing stone (WX006-001----) is c. 350m to the NNE.

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.
