• WX046-033 Mill - unclassified
  Description

  A water mill at Duncormick is recorded in 1623 when it may have been a Meiler possession (Jeffrey 1979, 74). The mill is listed in the Civil Survey (1654-6), and a watermill is also mentioned in the terrier or commentary of the Down Survey parish map (1656-8). See this website accessed on 2 August, 2013: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Bargy&c=Wexford&p=Duncormocke+and+Ballimagar. A grist mill is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map on the E bank of the N-S stream, just N of the bridge (WX046-056----). The location of the earlier structure is not known, although it may have been close to the village. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 August, 2013

• WX046-035001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  The manors of Rosegarland and Duncormick were jointly held by Maurice de London by the service of three and a quarter knights in 1247, and by three knights in 1324, but thereafter the manors are separated and Duncormick is not recorded, although it seems to have been acquired by the Meiler family (Brooks 1950, 103). The motte would have been built as part of the initial settlement after 1170. It is located on a bluff on the E bank of a N-S stream that flows through Duncormick village, with the stream c. 50m to the E. The motte is a flat-topped and densely overgrown earthen mound (diam. top 17m; diam. of base 21m; H 2.9-.2m). There is no visible fosse or any visible sign of a bailey, but archaeological testing (06E0929) uncovered a substantial ditch (Wth of top 5.2m; max. D 1.35m) that could be interpreted as part of the perimeter of a bailey (Dehaene 2009). An archaeological assessment and testing (02E0040) identified elements of a field system (WX046-035002-) to the NE that may be associated with it, and a kiln (WX046-035003-) and a house (WX046-035004-) were identified to the E, close to the present road through the village (Richardson 2002; excavations.ie 2002:1799). The church site (WX046-57001- is c. 120m to the E and the castle site (WX046-034001-) is c. 120m to the SW on the other side of the river. 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: 19 August, 2013 Amended: 30 November 2020

• WX046-035002 Field system
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape extending E and N of the motte and bailey (WX046-035001-). An archaeological assessment and testing (02E0040) identified elements of a field system covering c. 0.75 ha in the vicinity of the site of Duncormick Lodge, which was extant on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map (Richardson 2003; 2007, 465, No. 1799). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 August, 2013

• WX046-035003 Kiln
  Description

  Located on a slight S-facing slope in the village of Duncormick. Archaeological testing (06E0929) on the area SE of the motte (WX046-035001-) (dims. c. 80m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) produced evidence of a kiln. This appears not to have been fired, but the three fills contained medieval pottery, and a coin provisionally identified as a short cross penny of King John from the uppermost fill would be dated to 1207-1210.

• WX046-035004 House - medieval
  Description

  Located on a slight S-facing slope in the village of Duncormick. Archaeological testing (06E0929) on the area SE of the motte (WX046-035001-) (dims. c. 80m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) produced evidence of a semi-circular slot-trench with packing stones (int. diam. c. 5m) and a post-hole. This appears to have been the W edge of a house, but its E side has been truncated. (Dehaene 2009, 555, Group E) Compiled by : Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 August, 2013

• WX046-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: ASW 71, ASZ 41). It is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field bank at SW, and there is a gap at NE. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX046-057001 Church
  Description

  The site of the parish church of Duncormick is at the W edge of a plateau overlooking a N-S stream c. 170m to the W. It is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 40-50m N-S) defined by masonry walls, and was replaced by the Church of Ireland church c. 1810 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 209). According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Henry Reigh was the curate, but the condition of the church building is not recorded (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 269). St Clomaun's Well (WX046-036----) where a stone with the inscription 'R.C. 1696' and other pieces were found is c. 400m to the S on the other side of the stream. Archaeological testing (04E1335) uncovered evidence of a fosse (Wth 2.4-3m) of what may be an ecclesiastical enclosure (dims c. 120m E-W; c. 65m N-S) to the N and E of the graveyard, the rest of the perimeter being formed by the graveyard wall at S and the road curving W-N just to the W (McLoughlin 2004, 9, 11; 2008). The motte and bailey (WX046-035002-) is c. 120m to the W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
