• WX015-007 House - 17th century
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in the floor of the N-S River Slaney, with the stream c. 100m to the W. Land at Ballycarney was granted to Sir James Carroll, Mayor of Dublin, in 1612 and confirmed in 1618. It was attacked by the Kavanaghs in 1620, but the house might not have been completed yet. In 1621 a bawn '74 feet square' was being built. It is described in the Civil Survey as a large stone house owned by a Thorentone, a Richard Wale and a Bartholomew Breine in 1640 (Simington 1953, 265) as part of an extensive property in Ferns parish (WX015-027----). Its subsequent history cannot be traced. Two rectangular flanking towers of three storeys with string-courses and simple crenellations survived in 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 267). There are no visible remains of this structure at ground level in a root crop. (Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber 1987. 187–8) See the attached section from the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map (N at top) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 725) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

  Description

  Situated at the crest of the W-facing slope of the valley of the River Slaney with the stream c. 550m to the E and a small E-W stream is c. 170m to the N. The cropmark of an enclosure (int. diam. c. 65m) defined by two fosse features was recorded in the summer of 2018 by Barry Lacey using a drone-mounted camera. The inner bank is incorporated in a field bank NW-E-SE, and there may be an entrance through both fosses at W (max. ext. diam. c. 80m). It is also visible on OSI ortho images.
