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

- WX041-025: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX041-025----. Land at Aughnagan was held by the Hore family from the mid-16th century at least (Jeffrey 1979, 93), but the only reference to the castle is in the Civil Survey (1654-6) when the ruined castle and 80 acres were owned by William Hore (Simington 1953, 99). It is situated on a slight W-facing slope at the edge of a farm complex. Only the ground floor survives (ext. dims. c. 6.1m N S; c. 5.8m E W; int. dims 3.98m N-S; 3.41m E-W; H 2.4m) with much of the external facing stones removed; it is now used as a cattle shed. Three embrasures, one with a double splayed loop, are the only original features. 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: 19 March, 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.
