Recorded monuments

• WI007-024 Burial
  Description

  Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Extended inhumation of an adult female (aged c. 35 years) in a unlined grave found during quarrying. The skeleton was aligned E-W with the head to the W. Part of a flint scraper and a flint blade came from a high level in the grave fill (NMI 1943-00316-7). The site has been removed through quarrying. (Keenan et al. 1944) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

• WI007-026001 Font
  Description

  Octagonal limestone font described in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 22) immediately to the E of the cross (WI007-026002-). No longer at this location. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 31 January 2013

• WI007-026002 Cross
  Description

  National Monument in state guardianship No. 337. Situated on a gentle E-facing slope with a steeper slope immediately to the E. A granite cross (H 1.42m; T 0.16m) known as St Vallery's Cross with a circular head and chamfered edges. The west face has a depiction of Christ, represented as naked, with head inclined to the right. In the centre of the E face are two apparently bearded human heads in relief one possibly wearing a mitre. There are two other much worn heads, one on the lower S edge of the cross-head and one on the NE side of the base (Ó hÉailidhe 1958, 101). There is no trace of the octagonal limestone font described in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 22) but a simple circular basin occurs in a small granite block immediately S of Fassaroe Castle (WI007-027----) from where the font is reputed to have been removed. Possibly the remains of an ecclesiastical site. Archaeological test excavations carried out in 2002 adjacent to this cross failed to reveal anything of archaeological significance (Tobin 2004, 534) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 January 2013 Revised by: Claire Breen This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 42/1935).

• WI007-026003 Cross
  Description

  The OS Letters (O' Flanagan 1928, 27) describe a second cross alongside WI007-026002- as follows: 'There is a piece of a stone, 2 feet six inches long, nine inches wide and five thick lying at the foot of the cross, having one end shaped for the purpose of filling a round hole or mortice, .... This was another cross, but the arms or circle was broken off and probably for the purpose of what is called a cap stone under a rick or stack of corn.' The present location of this cross is unknown.

• WI007-027 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a SE-facing slope overlooking the Dargle valley. Built by William Brabazon, the Treasurer of Ireland, in 1535 (Fitzgerald, 1909-11, 129), only two walls (the W and S) of this granite-built tower house survive, although traces of the foundations of the other two can be identified. A substantial part of the barrel vault extends from the S wall over the first floor. Embrasures and aumbries survive at the ground- and first-floor levels in both walls. The barrel vault and the soffits of the embrasures retain traces of wicker centering. The doorway and stairwell were on either the E or N side and no trace of them survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 120/1940).

• WI007-060 Mound
  Description

  The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838/40) noted 'the North East part of Kilcroney townland terminates in a point between two streams; on this point is a hillock of considerable size, which the people call a moate; but they tell you that it was anciently called Poll and choradh, i.e. the hole of the weir, or the hole or grave of the champion.' (O' Flanagan 1928, 21). An oval enclosed area (dims. c. 90m E-W; c. 70m N-S) covered in trees and bounded by a stream on the E, is indicated in the NE part of Kilcroney townland on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1838). In its present form it appears as an oval mound (dims. c. 50m N-S x c. 30m E-W; H c. 5m) with possible traces of a fosse along its N side and cut by the N11 on its E side. Referred to as the 'Rath field' and the 'Fairy fort' (Conboy 2007, 2-3). No archaeological features were encountered when constructing the foot bridge immediately to the S (ibid).
