Recorded monuments

• WX002-024001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape, with a N-S stream just to the E. An ecclesiastical site called ‘Kilbride' is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 13), and it may be early in date. This is an oval area (dims. 80m N-S; 62m E-W) creating an ecclesiastical enclosure defined by a scarp N–SW and by the remains of bank (Wth 5.5m; H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth of top 5m; D 0.3m) SW-NW. It is slightly truncated by a WNW-ESE field bank at S. A cairn of stones in the centre marks site of the church but there is no evidence of burial in the graveyard marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. 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. Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 27 January 2012

• WX002-024002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape, with a N-S stream just to the E. A church (WX002-024001-) is associated with a graveyard marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but there is no evidence of burial around the cairn of the church within the ecclesiastical enclosure (WX002-024003-).

• WX002-024003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape sloping down gently to the SE, with a N-S stream just to the E. An ecclesiastical site called ‘Kilbride' is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 13), and it may be early in date. This is a circular area (diam. c. 90m N–S; c. 90m E–W) creating an ecclesiastical enclosure defined by a scarp N–E-SW and by the remains of bank (Wth 5.5m; H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth of top 5m; D 0.3m) SW–NW. It is cut by a WNW-ESE field bank at S but the perimeter can be traced in the field to the S. A cairn of stones in the centre marks site of the church (WX002-024001-) but there is no evidence of burial in the graveyard (WX002-024002-) marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map or of burial. The enclosure is most clearly visible on Google Earth (14/11/2020) as was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére, but what appears to be a low bank further W is a low scarp down to the E and unconnected with the ecclesiastical enclosure.
