- WX029-013001 Church
Description
Described as the 'Convent of Dominicans (Site of)' only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a steep E-facing slope. This is the site of parish church of Rosbercon. The church is depicted as a rectangular roofed structure (dims. c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and it is described as in good repair (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 533-4). There are no visible remains of a church at ground level, apart from the N wall with two brick-lined window embrasures incorporated into the N wall of the wedge-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 55m E-W; c. 25-45m N-S) defined by masonry walls. There is a fragment of a medieval graveslab (Wth 0.5-55m; visible H 1.1m; T 0.2m) in a green stone with a fleur-de-lis terminals serving as a grave-marker in the graveyard. An oval bullaun stone (dims 0.5m x 0.35m; H 0.25m plus) of granite with a single basin (dims 0.27m x 0.25m; D 0.1m) is in a flowerbed c. 40m N of the graveyard. 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 revision: 29 May, 2019
- WX029-013007 Religious house - Dominican friars
Description
Described as the site of the Dominican abbey only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the flood-plain of the N-S River Barrow/Nore with the stream c. 50m to the E. A Dominican friary known as St. Mary’s was reputedly founded in 1267 by the Graces or Walshes. It was dissolved in 1539 when it was described as a church with a belfry, a dormitory, a cemetery and four chambers, together with St. Saviour’s chapel (WX029-013011-) (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 229), but this last is not proven and the chapel was a possession of Dunbrody abbey (WX039-030001-) at the Suppression. A late 18th century print (Flynn 1981, Pl. 2) shows a nave and chancel with a tower, destroyed aisles and a N transept, and Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 553) describes a crossing tower and a wall with five arches and ten windows, but doubt must be cast on the validity of both (Manning 1998a, 125). There are no visible remains of it at ground level, but archaeological monitoring of a drainage pipe (95E0086) identified a wall from the friary and burials associated with it (McCutcheon 1996). Further excavation (00E0828) to secure the site for pile-supported development did not disturb any medieval deposits (McCarthy, M. 2002). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
