Recorded monuments

• WX042-006001 Church
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope with the South Slob of Wexford Harbour c. 700m to the E. This is the parish church of Kerloge. It is described by Synnott writing c. 1680 as a former convent of the Knights Templar (Hore 1862, 67). It may be site of St Aloch's Church mentioned in a charter of Henry II in 1172 (Cullen 1895, 375-6), but this is disputed by Hore (1900-11, vol. 4, 262-3; 1906, vol. 5, 84). St. Aloch's church is probably at Templetown (WX049-008001-) in Shelbourne (Culleton 1999, 128; Colfer 2002, 196). The foundation course of a wall (L 14.4m) oriented N-S is thought to be the remains of the church, but the graveyard has been removed. An altar from the church (WX037-032046-) has been re-erected outside the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption in Wexford town. St James' Well (WX042-006003-) is c. 10m S of the church wall. Archaeological monitoring (21E0154) by Y. Whitty of the line of a water pipe on the road c. 60-100m distant W-N produced no related material (Whitty 2021). 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: 27 May, 2013 Amended: 4 August 2021

• WX042-006002 Graveyard
  Description

  Located on a level landscape at the bottom of a SE-facing slope, and c. 700m W of the South Slob of Wexford harbour. A graveyard is described on the 1839 and1925 editions of the OS 6-inch map attached to Kerloge church (WX042-006001-), but it has been removed and details of its size cannot be ascertained. St. James’ Well (WX042-006003-) is still extant c. 10m S of the church wall. Archaeological monitoring (21E0154) by Y. Whitty of a watermain trench under the road c. 50m to the NW produced no related material (excavation.ie 2021:059). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 May, 2013 Amended: 4 November 2021

• WX042-006003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Located on a level landscape at the bottom of a SE-facing slope, and c. 10m S of the wall of Kerloge church (WX042-006001-). John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 says that a pattern was held at the well on St. James’ Day, July 25th, until c. 1820 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 375). The well is a rectangular feature (dims c. 1m E-W; c. 0.6m N-S) with masonry walls that support a single lintel (dims 1.2m x c. 0.8m; T 0.12m). The well opening (H 0.8m) is approached by concrete steps from the S, but there is no evidence of veneration. The dedication is to St. James of Compostela in NW Spain, where it is thought that the remains of St. James the Greater, one of the Apostles, were translated. St. James the apostle was close to Christ, and according to the Gospels witnessed many of His miracles, and was present at the Transfiguration, the Last Supper, and in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was martyred in Jerusalem in 43 AD. The belief that the remains of St. James were in Spain led to their discovery in the early 9th century when they were installed at Compostela in the NW corner of the country. This led to the development of a pilgrimage to his shrine that continues to this day. In Spanish it is called ‘Camino’, and was important politically in rallying support to the Christian kingdoms of northern Spain against the Muslim occupation of much of the Iberian Peninsula.

• WX042-089 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  Archaeological monitoring (01E0047) of topsoil stripping on a development site c. 750m W of the South Slob of Wexford harbour identified several areas of archaeological activity (Elder 2003), each of which was fully excavated (02E0606). This is site 2 and consisted of a penannular ring-ditch (int. diam. 13.8m; ext. diam. 14.4m) defined by a trench (Wth 0.55-0.6m; D 0.12-0.32m) with an entrance gap (Wth 4.1m) at E. There was a cluster of features at the centre including a cremation burial that produced a C14 date of 390-170 Cal. BC, thirteen dispersed post-holes and stake-holes. A C14 sample from the trench provided a date of 410-10 Cal. BC (McLoughlin 2007, 6-11). The excavated prehistoric pits (WX042-091----) are c. 60m to the N. (McLoughlin 2004; 2007, 6-11; McLoughlin et al. 2012, 161-4) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 May, 2013

• WX042-090 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  Archaeological monitoring (01E0047) of topsoil stripping on a development site c. 750m W of the South Slob of Wexford harbour identified several areas of archaeological activity (Elder 2003), each of which was fully excavated (02E0606). This is site 4/5 and consisted of a penannular ring-ditch (diam. 9m N-S; 8.5m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 0.5-0.75m; D 0.2-0.5m), with bulbous terminals and an entrance gap (Wth 1.7m) at SW. There were no internal features, but 60 sherds of pottery, some with cord impressed decoration in the Beaker tradtion, were recovered from the fosse. Fragments of a Food Vessel were recovered from a pit (dims 1.55m x 0.6-0.95m) c. 7m to the NE, but there was no evidence of a burial. About 20m to the NE a group of nine features inculding small pits, some inter-cutting (dims c. 0.2m to 0.6-0.8m; D 0.06-0.16m), produced lithics of a Neolithic type, and this is confimed by fragments of shell that produced a C14 date of 3810-3650 cal. BC. Two E-W gullies (Wth 0.7-0.9m; excavated L 16m; max. D 0.55m: Wth 1.15m; excavated L 17m; D 0.4m) have a staggered junction separated by a gap (Wth 3.2m). They respect the ring-ditch, lying just to its S, and may be prehistoric. The prehistoric pits (WX042-091----) are c. 90m to the S and the hut-site at Strandfield (WX042-097----) is c. 150m to the NE. (McLoughlin 2004; McLoughlin 2007, 13-17).

• WX042-091 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Archaeological monitoring (01E0047) of topsoil stripping on a development site c. 750m W of the W shore of the South Slob of Wexford harbour identified several areas of archaeological activity (Elder 2003), each of which was fully excavated (02E0606). This is site 3 and consisted of a group of eight pits (dims c. 0.25m to 1.5m x 0.7m; D 0.22m) that contained prehistoric pottery and lithic material. A total of 64 sherds of pottery, including some that may be Neolithic, were recovered, and ard-marks were recorded in the vicinity of the pits as well as post-medieval features. The ditch-barrow (WX042-089----) is c. 60m to the S and the ditch-barrow (WX042-090----) is c. 90m to the N. (McLoughlin 2004, 517; McLoughlin 2007, 11-13; McLoughlin et al. 2012, 164).
