• WX037-005001 Church
  Description

  Located towards the top of a gentle S-facing slope. The parish church of Artramon is within a small rectangular graveyard (dims c. 33m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by earthen banks. This is within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure visible as a D-shaped area (dims c. 130m N-S; c. 120m E-W) truncated by a N-S lane at W that is visible on digitalmap images. It is also faintly visible under polythene on Google Earth (25/05/2017), and was first reported by Ivor Kenny. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Richard Devereoux was the rector of Ardcroman, Richard Hore the curate, and while the church was in good condition the chancel needed repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 271). This is a nave and chancel church of which only the chancel (int. L 6.9m; int. Wth 4.25m) can be traced as wall foundations, except the N wail (H c. 5m) which has two small lights placed high in the ivy-covered wall, and the adjacent part of the E wall with two niches placed one above the other. A stone with prehistoric cup-mark decoration was identified in the graveyard during 2018 by Michael Fortune. It is a naturally rounded granite stone (dims 0.44m x 0.4m; T 0.27m) covered in cup-marks (diam. c. 2.5-4cm; D0.5-1cm) on one face only. St Bridget's Well (WX037-06----), an oval drystone walled well that is still venerated, lies c. 120m to the SSW and the tower house (WX037-07----) is c. 170m to the SSW.

• WX037-007 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Fernegenel, consisting of most of the barony of Shelmaliere East, was held from Strongbow by Maurice de Prendergast by the service of five knights’ fees, but by 1247 it was held by Gerard de Rupe (Roche) from de Valency. Artramon, or Ardcroman as it was known, was held by the Roches into the early 16th century but it had passed by marriage to the Mastersons by the early seventeenth century (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 119, 121; Jeffrey 1979, 91 2). The castle was captured by Walter Roche of Newcastle (WX037-016----) in 1641. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Edward Masterson owned the castle at Ardcroman, which was described as in ‘indifferent repair’, as well as a total of 700 acres in Ardtramon parish, at Ardcroman, Ballyregan, Crory, Galbally, and the unknown Eilephockan, Ballyleckie and Illanegappull (Simington 1953, 109). It is situated on a slight rise towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope on the N shore of the inner Wexford harbour. The stone, including dressed stone, is largely of an Old Red Sandstone conglomerate. This is a four storey tower (ext. dims. 8.55m E-W; 8m N-S) with a base batter and quoins but it only survives to the base of the parapet (H 14.25m). The pointed granite entrance with a yett is located towards the W end of the S wall. The entrance is further protected by machicolation on the parapet and a murder hole inside the doorway. The lobby leads through a lintelled doorway to the ground floor (int. dims 5.55m E-W; 4.85m N-S), where there are three embrasures but no other original features. Mural stairs rise in the S wall to a lintelled doorway to the first floor under the E-W barrel vault. This floor is supported on three corbels in the S wall and a rebate on the N wall and there are rectangular windows in the W and E walls. The stairs continue in the S wall to a lintelled doorway at the S end of the E wall that gives access to the second floor. This floor has a simple window in each wall, those on the N and W walls are destroyed but are in curved embrasures with seats. There is a fireplace with the flue projecting on the outer face of the wall at the S end of the W wall, and a recess at the W end of the S wall controls the murder-hole. There is a garderobe at the NW angle entered by a lintelled doorway in the N wall. The ceiling was supported on corbels in the N wall and a rebate in the S wall. The stairs continue in the E wall, and a lintelled doorway provides access to the third floor at the centre of the wall. There are windows in curved embrasures with seats in the N, S and W walls, and the arched embrasures have traces of wicker-centering. The S window is destroyed but the W one is rectangular and the N window is round-headed. A garderobe at the NW angle is entered from a lintelled doorway in the N wall and there are cupboards at the NE and SW angles, but there is no fireplace on this floor. The mural stairs continue in the E wall to the destroyed parapet level, but a brick vault was built over the third floor. The church (WX037 005001 ) is c. 170m to the N, and the holy well (WX037-006----) is c. 50m to the N.
