Recorded monuments

• WX006-071001 House - 17th century
  Description

  An estate known as Castle Marwood was granted to William Marwood in 1613. A house of two-and-a-half storeys with a court and gatehouse had been built by 1621, and also an orchard (WX006-071002-). The property had been burnt by the Kavanaghs in 1620 and was later sold to Henry Masterson, who called it Moniseede. A ruined castle and mill were on the estate of 800 acres at Monaseed and Ballylusk townlands in 1654 (Simington 1953, 7). Monaseed House, situated on a SE-facing slope in a broad col with hills c. 600m to the NW and c. 1.5km to the SE, is a three storey, three bay house with a projecting return in the centre of the NW side, and could contain fabric from the original house. The walled garden (WX006-071002-) c. 40m to the E is associated with it. Archaeological testing (19E0557) at Monaseed House failed to produce any related material (McLoughlin 2019). (Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber 1987, 193–4) 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: 1 March, 2012 Amended: 14 May, 2014

• WX006-071002 Walled garden
  Description

  Situated on a SE-facing slope in a broad col with hills c. 600m to the NW and c. 1.5km to the SE. Monaseed was granted to William Marwood in 1613 and by 1621 the house (WX006-071001-) had been built as well as a walled orchard that is described as measuring 268 feet by 161 feet (loeber, Stouthamer-Loeber 1987, 193-4). The present farm complex c. 60m E of Monaseed House (WX006-071001-) has corresponding dimensions (dims. c. 86m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) and its SW wall (Wth 0.6-0.8m; H c. 2.5m) is probably original as it is poorly bonded with clay mortar and has two adjacent flat-arched gateways (Wth c. 3m) with undressed vouosoirs.
