Recorded monuments

• WX020-107 Hearth
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 7 (Hardy et al. 2010, 84). It is situated on a slight rise on a N-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 90m to the N and there is a natural hollow c. 40m to the W. Excavation (E4345) by L. Barker recorded a circular hearth (diam. 1.1m; T 0.12m) with an oxidised base and two charcoal-rich fills. A sample from the lower fill produced a C14 determination of Cal. AD 1435-1613, providing a late medieval date. The unrelated fulachta fia in Toom (WX020-102----; WX020-103----) are c. 190m to the WNW and c. 130m to the NW respectively.

• WX020-108 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 6 (Hardy et al. 2010, 83-4). It is situated at the bottom of a N-facing slope with a small S-N stream c. 130m to the W. Full excavation (E4266) by M. McNamara recorded an oval pit (dims 4.3m E-W; 1.35m N-S; D 0.14m) with two fills, the upper of which had charcoal. Three small pits (dims 0.35m x 0.22m; D 0.1m: 0.35m x 0.25m; D 0.08m: 0.45m x 0.3m; D 0.15m) and a post-hole were within 5-6m of the large pit. No artefacts were recovered but a sample from the upper fill of the large pit produced a C14 date of Cal. BC 1379-1190 BC. The cairn (WX020-109001-), structure (WX020-109002-) and enclosure (WX020-109003-) are c. 150m to the SSE. (McNamara 2012; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013

• WX020-109001 Cairn - burial cairn
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as a part of Ballydawmore 5 (Hardy et al. 2010, 82-3). It is situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 50m to the N. Full excavation (E4171) by L. Barker of an extensive area recorded two main phases – Neolithic and medieval, with a structure (WX020-109002-) and a burial cairn in the earlier phase, and an enclosure (WXX020-109003-) in the later. Beneath the cairn was a pit lined with stones, leaving a chamber (dims 1.5m NNW-SSE; 1m ENE-WSW; D 0.7m). This may have been partly lined with wood as two slot-trenches were recorded at the shorter ends. It might also have been roofed in wood as no roof-stone was recovered. The only content of the cist was a flint point (L 8.5cm) but flint debitage was found in the vicinity. The cist was covered by a small cairn (diam. c. 4m), but only the base survived. A possible cremation pit had been inserted into the remnants of the cairn. A cluster of post and stake-holes c. 5m to the W (WX020-109002-) represents contemporary activity and the cairn is within the N interior of the medieval rectangular enclosure (WX020-109003-). The pits (WX020-108----) are c. 150m to the NNW. (Ruttle and Rajic 2012; Barker 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013

  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as a part of Ballydawmore 5 (Hardy et al. 2010, 82-3). It is situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 50m to the N. Full excavation (E4171) by L. Barker of an extensive area recorded two main phases – Neolithic and medieval, with a structure and a burial cairn (WX020-109001-) in the earlier phase and an enclosure (WX020-109003-) in the later. A concentrated area (diam. c. 10m) of post and stake-holes and pits is situated c. 5m W of the cairn (WX020-109001-) and in the N interior of the enclosure. A central pit may be a cremation burial as it contained a charcoal-rich layer with fragments of burnt bone. This area was rich in lithics, but no pattern was discernible in the post-holes, and a hearth was not recognised. The pits (WX020-108----) are c. 150m to the NNW.

• WX020-109003 Enclosure
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as a part of Ballydawmore 5 (Hardy et al. 2010, 82-3). It is situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 50m to the N. Full excavation (E4171) by L. Barker of an extensive area recorded two main phases – Neolithic and medieval, with a structure (WX020-109002-) and a burial cairn (WX020-109001-) in the earlier phase and an enclosure in the later. The prehistoric features were within the N part of a rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 28m NNW-SSE; c. 25m ENE-WSW) defined by a V-sectioned fosse (Wth 0.5-2.1m; D 0.15m at S to 1.6m) with a wide opening (Wth 11.47m) at N. Coarse medieval pottery derived from Leinster cooking ware was found in the ditch, and a complete pot had been broken in the W terminus of the ditch.

• WX020-110 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 4 (Hardy et al. 2010, 81). It is situated on a slight S-facing slope with an E-W stream c. 280m to the S. Excavation (E4278) by C. Hardy recorded a U-sectioned ditch (Wth 1.4m; D 0.25m; L 20m plus) running E-W and curving to the N at either end. Leinster cooking ware was recovered from the upper fill of the ditch, which cut an E-W gully (Wth c. 1m; D 0.4m; L 22.8m plus) that lay to its N but curved to the S at either end. The gully produced no artefacts, and the only other feature was a small pit or post-hole (dims 0.38m x 0.26m; D 0.25m) just S of the ditch at the W edge of the excavation. The unrelated fulacht fia (WX020-111----) is c. 40m to the NE and the metal-working site (WX020-112----) is c. 150m to the SE.

• WX020-111 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 78-9). It is situated on a fairly level landscape. Full excavation (E4255) by C. Hardy recorded a C-shaped spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 4.2m N-S; 1.7m E-W; T 0.15m) centred on a subcircular trough (dims 1.58m x 1.49m; D 0.39m) with a post-hole and four stake-holes in its base. There were three pits (dims 2.08m x 1.44m; D 0.22m: 0.8m x 0.8m; D 0.08m: 0.3m x 0.24m; D 0.11m) within 5-6m of the trough, filled largely with silts and clay. 6m S of the trough was an ENE-WSW furrow, which had beneath it a double line of post-holes (L c. 5m). A sample from the trough produced a C14 date of Cal. BC 2366-2062, and four sherds of Middle Bronze Age pottery were found in the topsoil. The unrelated ditch (WX020-110----) is c. 40m to the SW and the unrelated metalworking site (WX020-112----) is c. 145m to the SSE.

• WX020-112 Metalworking site
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 79-80). It is situated on a slight NW-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 170m to the S. Full excavation (E4240) by Y. Whitty recorded a hook-shaped slot-trench (Wth 0.4-0.8m; max. D 0.27m), which formed a structure (int. dims 21m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) but only the NW and SW sides are complete with a section (L c. 4m) of the SE side at the S end. There was a possible furnace in the form of a pit (dims 0.75m x 0.6m; D 0.42m) that was central to the SW end of the structure and contained charcoal and slag. There was a cluster of six stake-holes 1.4m to the N of this feature and a pit (dims 1.6m x 1.5m; D 0.41m) adjacent to the E contained slag and a worked stone that might be an anvil. The slot-trench produced slag as did most other features, including a pit (dims 1.1m x 1.05m; D 0.55m) outside the structure at NE. However, an oval pit (dims 4.1m N-S; 1.75 E-W; D 1.1m) 3m to the E of this pit produced only a struck flint, and this feature might be completely unrelated to the structure. The unrelated fulacht fia (WX020-111----) is c. 145m to the NNW and the ditch (WX020-110----) is c. 150m to the NW, while the hearth (WX020-113----) is c. 75m to the S.

• WX020-113 Hearth
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Ballydawmore 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 80-1). It is situated on a slight S-facing slope with an E-W stream c. 90m to the S. Excavation (E4279) by Y. Whitty recorded a hearth (dims 0.67m x 0.6m; T 0.07m) occupying a small, natural hollow, which was filled with a deposit of loose, red oxidised sand (dims 1.55m x 1.22m). A sherd of prehistoric pottery and burnt bone was recovered from this deposit, and Middle Bronze pottery was recovered from the topsoil. A second phase is represented by four small pits (dims 0.48m x 0.53m; D 0.22m to 0.95m x 0.9m; D 0.34m) and two larger pits (dims 2.1m N-S; 1.4m E-W; D 0.22m: 1.9m N-S; 1.65m E-W; D 0.44m). Some of the pits have a stratigraphic relationship, and a sample from one of the larger pits produced a C14 date of Cal. AD 897-1117. The metalworking site (WX020-112----) is c. 75m to the N, and the pits in Corbally townland (WX020-114----) are c. 120m to the S.

• WX020-139 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated on a slight NW-facing slope. Monitoring of topsoil removal (E004646) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in September 2016 identified a burnt mound which was only partially excavated (E004789) in January 2017 as it extended to the NE outside the boundary of the land-take. It consists of a spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 10.6m N-S; 5m E-W; max. T 0.12m) which was truncated at W by a modern NNE-SSW field drain. No trough or other features were recorded and nor were any artefacts recovered but analysis of environmental remains revealed the dominant presence of oak with some hazel. A sample of hazel charcoal produced a C14 date of 2136-1950 cal. BC. (Whitty and Kavanagh 2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 November 2020

• WX020-142 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope. Archaeological testing (E004943) of an area of about 6 ha (c. 15 acres) required for the construction phase of the M11 motorway identified three archaeological areas, two of which being simple pit features were preserved in situ, but a burnt mound was fully excavated (E004974) as Ballydawmore 9 (excavations.ie 2018:677). It consisted of a rectangular trough (dims 3.55m x 3.15m; D 0.65m) with sloping sides and a subcircular trough (dims 2.7m x 1.8m; D 0.58m) linked to the former by a channel (L 1.8m; Wth 1.25m; D 0.3m) that was badly damaged by a later drain. There were also 68 stake-holes, two post-holes and two pits, beneath the spread of burnt and broken stones. The rectangular trough had five stakeholes at the corners and numerous others on the sloping SE side and extending SE in two lines (L 2m). This trough was filled with a charcoal flecked clayey silt beneath yellow clays that represent slumping of the sides or redeposited subsoil beneath the burnt mound material (dims 13m x 7.5m; max. T 0.36m). The subcircular trough was c. 1m to the N and it was filled with four deposits, largely of silt with varying amounts of burnt stone, including the main spread of the burnt mound. A polished stone axehead was the only artefact recovered from the burnt mound over the rectangular trough. Two small pits (diam. 1.3-1.4m; D 0.15m: 0.73m x 0.46m; D 0.37m) were cut into the subsoil but outside the extent of the burnt mound.
