- WX036-012001 Church
Description
Marked faintly as a rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 20m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) described as the 'site of Killell Church and Grave Yard' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map, and similarly on the 1924 ed. It is situated on a NE-facing slope of a W-E spur between W-E streams c. 180m to the S and c. 50m to the N. It is possibly of early origin. This is a roughly circular but overgrown and slightly raised clearing in a coniferous forest (diam. c. 40m) defined by a scarp N-SE, with traces of a fosse (Wth of top 2.7m; D 0.4m) NW-N. There is a cairn (diam. 5m) around a tree stump in centre but there is no evidence of burial. A small cross inscribed slab (dims 0.4m x 0.33m; T 5cm) was found on the site and is now in the Wexford County Museum in Enniscorthy (Kelly 1988, 96, fig. 31d). 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: 7 November, 2012
