  Description

  Marked as 'site of Chapel' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in the grounds of Shandon House. The original Shandon House was owned by the Hore family, but the house was in disrepair according to Smith (1746, 70). Situated on a S-facing, grass-covered slope on the W bank of the N-S Colligan River. Its nature is not know, but it may have bee a penal church. It is not visible at ground level, and archaeological monitoring (00E0442) of a new E-W roadway c. 20m to the S failed to produce any material apart from an E-W wall that may hve been related to the original Shandon House, (Murphy 2000, 2002).

• WA031-072 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on relatively high ground overlooking the W-E River Colligan which is immediately to the N, at the point where it turns S before entering the sea at Dungarvan Harbour, c. 1.7km to the S. It was identified in monitoring (00E0442) by S. Elder in Area 2 of a large housing development (Elder 2002b, 5-6; 2003), and subsequently partially excavated (01E0327) by E. Dennehy (2001; 2003), but the site is now largely preserved in an open area. The S edge of a large subrectangular enclosure (int. dim. c. 75m E-W; surviving N-S dim. c. 35m) was excavated, its N extent being truncated by quarrying. It was defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (at W: Wth of top 2.4m; D 1.3m; at S: Wth of top 3.6m; D 1.8m) with an entrance (Wth c. 3m) at the centre of the S side, although the fosse was not traced over some of the E side L c. 17m). Fifty three pit-bottoms (diam. c. 1.5m; D c. 0.15m) filled with charcoal-enriched soil were identified in the interior, with evidence of metal-working concentrated in the SE of the interior. Some features were also noted outside to the S, and a metal-working area (WA031-073----) was located outside the enclosure, c. 50m to the NE. Dennehy, E.

• WA031-073 Metalworking site
  Description

  Situated on relatively high ground overlooking the W-E River Colligan which is immediately to the N, at the point where it turns S before entering the sea at Dungarvan Harbour, c. 1.7km to the S. It was identified in monitoring (00E0442) by S. Elder in Area 2a and 2b of a large housing development (Elder 2002b, 5-6; 2003), and subsequently completely excavated (01E0327) by E. Dennehy (2001; 2003). Located about 50m E of the enclosure (WA031-072----) were three areas of activity. A northern group of post-holes and pit-bottoms revealed no pattern of a strucutre. Just to the S was a small semicircular structure (int. diam. c. 2m) identified as two lines of post-holes and associated with metal-working pits, with a pit-bottom of domestic waste (diam. 1.35m; D 0.87m) just to its SE.
