  Description

  Aerial photograph (GB91.EX.17) shows faint traces of an incomplete enclosure defined by two fosses adjoining the graveyard (WX053-035003-) on its southern side. Compiled by: Gillian Barrett/Michael Moore. Date of upload: 24th February, 2011.

• WX053-096 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Located on a slight E-facing slope. Archaeological monitoring (02E0160) on a windfarm identified archaeological features on the base of turbine 7 (Purcell 2002, 12), which was fully excavated (02E0434). It consisted of a single pit (dims 1.9m N-S; 1.63m E-W; D 0.35m). There were two areas of burning in the fill, and pottery that has been identified as Neolithic Sandhills ware was recovered, along with flint debitage. (Purcell 2002a, 8-10)

• WX053-104 Ritual site - holy/saint's stone
  Description

  Situated on the shore above the high tide mark where it is supported on a few stones. Stokes (1893) equated the local saint’s name 'Vauk' with the French saint Vogue, claiming Vogue for Ireland, but Dalton (1921, 19-20) debunks the connection and through the linguistics of what he calls the Flemish language of the Anglo-Norman settlers identifies Vauk as St. Féichín of Fore, Co. Westmeath (WM004-035003-). According to Stokes St. Vogue made the journey from Carnsore to Lan Veoc, south of the bay of Douarnenez, in Brittany, on a boulder, which then returned to Carnsore, although a fragment was left in France. All the references to the stone post-date Stokes (Mac Leighim 1920, 134-5). The stone is a large boulder (dims 2.1m x 1.5m; T 0.55m) which is now upside down, but its underside has an incised T-shaped cross, which is comprised of what are probably natural channels (Wth c. 3cm; D c. 3-4cm).
