- WX007-032 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Described as a 'Boiling Well' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as Tobermuire - Mary's Well - on the 1940 ed. Situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope, it is the source of a stream that runs off to the SW, but no well structure is visible. There is no physical evidence of veneration but it had been resorted to for eye ailments, although this had been long discontinued by 1940 (OSFM). Archaeological testing (05E0901) in the vicinity produced evidence of a brickworks in the area just N of the Holy well. There is no record of a brick works here, and it is presumably 18th or 19th century in date. (Delaney 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore Dtae of upload: 15 March 2012
- WX007-033 Historic town
Description
There may have been a settlement at Gorey in the thirteenth century as a payment of 13 shillings was made by 'the communityh of the town (ville) of Gorey' in 1296, but nothing further is known until the 17th century when Gorey emerges a planned town, part of the early 17-century plantation of north county Wexford. It received its first charter in 1619 as Newtown or Newborough. Bishop Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns lived at Gorey. The town was captured by Rebels in 1641. The town was laid out on a grid pattern covering c. 14 acres (c. 5.5 ha), and it might never have been defended with a wall, although there are passing references to ramparts in the early 18th century. Main Street runs ENE-WSW through the centre of the original town area, which extends from Pearse St. at N to Church Lane at S, The Avenue at W to Church St. at E. The graveyard and church site (WX007-033001-) with the Ram tomb (WX007-03303-) are within the town. Archaeological testing within the town has yet to produce any related material. (Bradley and King 1990, 88-91; Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 609-34) 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: 15 March 2012
- WX007-033001 Church
Description
The parish church of Gorey was within the town and was probably built in the early 17th century. In 1819 a new Church of Ireland church was built outside the town to the SW on a site provided by Stephen Ram (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 666), which church was re-built in 1861 (Hore 1900-011, 633). There are no visible remains of the origianal church in its rectangular graveyard (dims c. 55m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls. The tomb-chest of Archbishop Ram (D. 1634) is an oblong structure (dims. 1.85m x 0.95m; H 0.75m) with an English and Latin inscription in relief on the W end stone. It lies over a vault that was opened temporarily around 1909 and then sealed (Cantwell 1974-85, vol. 5, No. 189). 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: 15 March 2012
- WX007-033002 Graveyard
Description
The parish church of Gorey (WX007-033001-) was within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 55m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls. The tomb-chest of Archbishop Ram (WX007-033003-) is within the graveyard. Archaeological testing (05E0338) immediately to the E demonstrated that burial does not extend outside the graveyard in this direction.

- WX007-055 Urn burial
Description
Fragments of an encrusted urn and fragments of a vase urn that was inverted over cremated bone (WX007-055001-) were found in the face of a gravel quarry in 1989. The cremation represented an adult female. (Ó Floinn 2011) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

- WX007-080 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope c. 350m SW of the original Gorey town (WX007-033----). Archaeological testing (06E0089) of an extensive area produced evidence of archaeological features at three points that were furhter investigated. One proved to be an oval pit (dims 3.68m x 1.4m; D 0.3m) containing silty clays with charcoal and some burnt stone. About 45m to the N was a small pit (diam. 0.68m x 0.49m; T 0.12m) again filled with silty clay in an area that had produced one sherd of prehistoric pottery during testing. About 140m SE of the first pit was a rectangular pit (dims 1.2m N-S; 0.66m E-W; D 0.1m) filled with a charcoal-flecked silty clay. (Bayley 2009) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 Marche, 2012
- WX007-082 Metalworking site
Description
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Archaeological monitoring and excavation (07E0865) recovered evidence of metalworking in a small area (dims. c. 10m N-S; c. 7.5m E-W). This included two furnace-bottoms as hemispherical pits (diam. 0.9m; D 0.32m: diam. 1.53m; D 0.5m), both of which were fired twice, and were probably specialising in the production of bronze. The larger furnace produced a C 14 determination of 790 +- 18 BP (1219-1269 cal. 2 sigma). (Bolger 2009; 2010) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload 16 March, 2012
- WX007-085005 Kiln
Description
Archaeological testing (12E0306) in an area of c. 7 ha (c. 18acres) c. 250m WSW of the core of Gorey town (WX007-033----) identified and excavated two fulachta fia, three burnt mounds, a pit and a corn-drying kiln. This ‘key-hole’-shaped kiln (dims 3.05m N-S; 1.41m E-W; max. D 0.35m at N) with evidence for in situ burning was from Area E c. 100m N of a small E-W stream or drain. It had four fills, two of which contained a large amount of charcoal but no samples of cereals were recorded. A sample of charcoal from the primary fill produced a C14 date of 358-203 Cal. BC.
