• WX022-013001 Church
  Description

  Described as the site of a church, which is not depicted, on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the site of a church on the 1924 ed. The graveyard is depicted faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1924 ed. It is situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a low ridge. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or of burial at ground level in pasture. The holy well (WX022-014----), a natural spring of which nothing is known, is c. 100m to the E. 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: 18 June, 2012

• WX022-013002 Graveyard
  Description

  The graveyard is depicted faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a low ridge. There are no visible remains of a church (WX022-013001-), enclosure or of burial at ground level in pasture. The holy well (WX022-014----) is c. 100m to the E.

• WX022-013003 Habitation site
  Description

  Situated on a slight N-facing slope. Archaeological testing (18E0334) in the area between the church of Ballynure (WX022-013001-) and its associated holy well (WX022-014----) located c. 130m to the E identified numerous features in Upton townland including a pit (dims 2.3m plus; D 0.25m plus) which produced medieval pottery. There was also an E-W fosse (Wth c. 3m; L 10m plus), gullies, a charcoal-flecked clay floor (dims c. 20m plus E-W; c. 3m N-S), pits and a second clay floor (dim. 12m plus). Medieval pottery was recovered from the first pit, but other wares together with worked flints were found throughout the tested area, suggesting that the habitation floors are prehistoric, perhaps Bronze Age, in date.

• WX022-014 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as a holy well on both. It is located towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge. This is a natural spring against a N-S field bank and townland boundary, but there is no evidence of, or record of, veneration. The church site (WX022-013001-) is c. 100m to the W.

• WX022-033 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on the E-facing slope towards the N end of a slight NE-SW ridge (L c. 300m). The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 63m) defined by a single fosse with an entrance (Wth c. 5m) at E is visible on iMAPs (2022). There are old quarries visible in the interior that are also depicted on the historical mapping, and the perimeter is truncated (L c. 45m) by a NNE-SSW roadway at W. Field drains attach to the fosse at N and S but other field drains that are visible are likely to be more modern. Archaeological testing c. 40m to the N identified habitation floors with medieval material (WX022-013003-) which probably relates to this enclosure as much as to the site of a graveyard in Ballynure (WX022-013002-) c. 30m to the NW. The enclosure is also visible on MapGenie (2004-06), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
