Recorded monuments

• WX026-034 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the SE side of a NE-SW minor road close to a junction with a road from the N. This is a rough boulder (diam. 0.9m; H 0.55m) with a subrectangular, round bottomed basin (dims. 0.23m x 0.22m; D 0.17m). There is a crude modern inscription on exterior and the letters JMAL can be deciphered. 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: 12 July 2012

• WX026-092 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Scurlocksbush 1 and 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 97-8). It is situated on a NW-facing slope. It was partially excavated (E4201) by C. Hardy who uncovered a circular trough (diam. 2.35-2.4m; D 1.2m) with 9 planks covering the rectangular base (dims c. 2m x c. 2m). The planks may be oak and some exhibit tool-marks. Twelve stakes were used to secure the planks and a central mortise-hole was plugged with a stake. The uppermost of four fills included burnt stone material from the covering mound (dims 11m N-S; 2.5m E-W; T 0.12m) that produced two pieces of flint debitage, but the mound extended outside the road-take to the E. The fulacht fia (WX026-093----) is c. 250m to the SSW. (Hardy 2012; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 November, 2013

• WX026-093 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and it was set aside for resolution as Scurlocksbush 5 (Hardy et al. 2010, 100-01). The site is situated in a hollow in an undulating landscape and It was completely excavated (E4214) by C. Hardy. A mound of silty sand with a burnt stone content (dims 23m E-W; 11.5m N-S; max. T. 0.3m) overlay a rectangular trough (dims 2.54m x 1.2m; D 0.28m) with timbers on three of its sides, while 2.5m to the NE a second rectangular trough (dims 3.36m x 1.66m; D 0.27m) had a single timber on its base. Both troughs were aligned NNW-SSE and an E-W palaeochannel (exposed L 40m; Wth 3.32m; D 0.31-0.46m ) was just to the N of the larger trough. There were three pits (dims 1.54m x 1.02m; D 0.35m: 2.19m x 0.98m; D 0.32m: 1.6m x 1m; D 0.2m) in the excavated area, all with some burnt stone material and the last cut into the fill of the palaeochannel.
