## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WX019-034: Pit-burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX019-034----. Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and resolved (E4347) by A. Mulcahy as Askunshin 3 during the testing phase (Hardy et al. 2010, 121-2). It is located in a slight col between a low hill c. 860m to the NNW and a slight rise c. 250m to the SSE. It proved to be a single pit (dims 0.49m x 0.42m; D 0.08m) filled with two deposits, both containing burnt bone. The bone proved to be animal rather than human, but a sample from the lower fill produced a C14 determination of Cal. BC 1403-1262. The pits (WX019-035----) are c. 260m to the NE. (Mulcahy 2012; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013
- WX019-035: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX019-035----. Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Askunshin 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 120-1). It is located on a slight N-facing slope in a slight col between a low hill c. 900m to the NW and a slight rise c. 400m to the SW. It was fully excavated (E4222) by Y. Whitty when two oval pits (dims 1.12m x 0.62m; D 0.62m: 1.1m x 0.7m; D 0.17m) 0.7m apart were uncovered. A smaller pit (diam. 0.35-0.4m) was just to the E of the second pit and contained three inverted and broken prehistoric pots that were block-lifted for conservation, the results which are not yet available. The hearth and pits (WX019-036----) are c. 100m to the NE, although they may be wholly unrelated, and the pit-burial (WX019-034----), c. 260m to the SW may be more relevant. (Hull and Hardy 2012; Whitty 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013
- WX019-036: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX019-036----. Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Askunshin 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 120-1). It is located on a slight N-facing slope in a slight col between a low hill c. 900m to the NW and a slight rise c. 400m to the SW. It was fully excavated (E4221) by Y. Whitty when a hearth (dims 0.7m x 0.66m; T 0.18m) was recorded with three stake-holes nearby together with a layer of re-deposited hearth material. There was a cluster of six post-holes in a confined area (dims c. 3m x c. 3m) near a pit (diam. 0.7m x 0.45m; D 0.13m) c. 4m to the W but no pattern was discernible, and there were other isolated pits and post-holes. Three sherds of glazed red earthenware from the topsoil might provide the only dating evidence. The pits (WX016-035----) are c. 100m to the SW, although they might be completely unrelated. (McNamara and Taylor 2011; Whitty 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 Nivember, 2013

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
