Description
Located towards the bottom of the W-facing slope of of a low, broad E-W ridge, with a small S-N stream c. 280m to the W, and its confluence with the N-S River Slaney is c. 500m to the NW. The faint cropmark of a narrow-ditched enclosure (diam. c. 45m) is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, AYJ 89). It is not visible at ground level in a harvested cereal crop. 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: 31 May, 2012
- WX020-026 Enclosure
Description
Marked as a small rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the top of the gentle N-facing slope of a slight E-W ridge. There are no visible remains of a site at ground level in pasture. 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: 31 May, 2012
- WX020-104 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, when two pits (dims 0.7m x 0.5m: 1-1.1m x 0.7m; D 0.2m) containing prehistoric pottery and some lithics were excavated. It was set aside for resolution as Ballynabarney 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 101-02). The site is located on a level landscape in the valley of the N-S River Slaney, with the river c. 180m to the NW, and there is a small S-N stream c. 160m to the W. An extensive area (dims 25m x 17m) was excavated (E4338) by C. Hardy, but only a single oval, flat-bottomed pit (dims 0.7m x 0.6m; D 0.3m) was recorded. This had two fills, both with numerous sherds of Beaker pottery. A total of 128 fragments were recovered from this pit, representing at least ten fine and four domestic Beaker vessels, including a footed bowl. The pottery is stylistically dated to 2450-2200 BC, and a sample from the lower fill confirms this by producing a C14 date of Cal BC 2460-2209. The pits and related features (WX020-105----) are c. 145m to the E. (McNamara and Taylor 2012; Hardy 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 Ballynabarney 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 102-03). It is situated on a level landscape in the valley of the N-S River Slaney, with the river c. 250m to the W. It was excavated (E4208) by C. Hardy when about 14 pits produced a large quantity of prehistoric pottery, much of it Beaker, and all from only five of the pits. The pits (dims 0.33m x 0.29m; D 0.32m to 1.31m x 1.13m; D 0.33m) were dispersed about the excavated area (dims 41m x 21m) and belonged to the first phase of use. A second phase was represented by a double row (excavated L 26m; Wth 0.46m) of stake-holes (diam. c. 0.12m; D 0.07m) running NE-SW that formed a fence and extended to the SW outside the excavated area. Traces of a parallel line of stake-holes were recorded c. 5m to the SE. The pit (WX020-104----) is c. 145m to the W, and the pit (WX020-106----) is c. 150m to the ENE.

Description
Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Ballynabarney 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 103-04). It is situated on a W-facing slope in the valley of the N-S River Slaney, with the river c. 380m to the W. It was fully excavated (E4210) by C. Hardy who recorded a steep-sided oval pit (dims 1.9m E-W; 1.75m N-S; D 0.7m) with three fills which had some content of burnt stone. A sample from the middle fill produced a C14 date of cal. BC 1880-1686. The pit is probably a trough from a fulacht fia, but no trace of a mound was recovered. A drain, a ditch and a plough furrow were also sampled, but these are probably post-medieval. The pit (WX020-105----) is c. 150m to the WSW. (Hull and McNamara 2012; Hardy 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013
- WX020-129 Ring-ditch
Description
Situated at the W edge of a low shelf on a fairly level landscape with a NNE-SSW section of the River Slaney c. 200m to the W. The cropmark of a circular area (int. diam. c. 7m; ext. diam. c. 15m) defined by a wide fosse is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It was first reported by Simon Dowling.

- WX020-130 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a gentle NW-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) defined by a slight fosse SW-W-NE is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018) but the perimeter is incorporated into a field bank NE-E-SW, the curve of which is represented on the 1835 and 1902 editions of the OS 6-inch map. A second fosse or drain departs from the perimeter at NW curves outside it (max. distance c. 8m) and returns to it at NE. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.

Description
Situated at the bottom of a slight W-facing slope, on the E bank of the canalised S-N Ballyedmond Stream which is c. 20m to the W, and c. 120m SSE of its confluence with the N-S River Slaney at a point where that river turns SW. It was first identified as two areas of burnt mound material separated by a palaeo-channel in archaeological testing (E004551) of land required for the M11 Motorway (Ruttle 2014, 17-8), and were subsequently excavated (E004563) as Ballynabarny 5. The W mound (dims 13.46m N-S; 3.45-6.8m E-W; T 0.1-0.27m) extended beneath a field bank bordering the stream at W, but it consisted of a single layer of broken and burnt stone lying over a subcircular trough (dims 2.2m E-W; 1.8m N-S: D 0.4m) with near vertical sides and a flat base. A channel (L 1.3m; Wth 0.95m; D 0.3m) was dug into its W side to link it to the palaeo-channel (Wth 3-5m; D 0.76m). The base of the trough was divided by a line (L c. 0.8m) of six stones (dims 0.2-0.5m). The trough was filled by a silty clay beneath black silt with some heat-shattered stone. Just W of the trough was a fire-spot (dims 1.12m x 0.9m; T 0.02m) that was probably a hearth. A second, oval trough (dims 2.47m x 1.62m; D 0.7m) was just N of the mound and a large stone (dims 1.03m x 0.57m; T 0.08m) was on its base. The trough was filled with seven layers, the lowest of which, consisting of charcoal was deposited while the stone in situ. This was covered by grey sand with some charcoal, from which a possible rubbing stone was recovered. After this three layers of silty clay or sand with burnt stone spilled into the SW corner of the trough from the mound and another layer of grey clay with occasional charcoal and heat-shattered stone spilled into it from the NE. Just SW of the trough was a fire-spot (dims 2.44m x 1.84m; T 0.93m). Material from the mound was incorporated into the alluvial deposits of the palaeo-channel.

The E mound extended beneath a road bank to its E but is comprised of a single layer of broken and burnt stone (dims 13m x 9.5m; T 0.2-0.3m) which covered an oval trough (dims 1.88m x 1.78m; D 0.65m) with steep sides and a flat base that sloped down to the W. Fifteen stake-holes along the base of the trough were concentrated at the junction with its sides E-S-W and small pieces of wood were recovered from them. Just E of the trough was a fire-spot (dims 1.68m x 1.18m; T 0.02m). The primary fill of the trough was sandy silt with heat-shattered stone and charcoal that was covered by a deposit of natural clay. Above this was black sandy silt with heat-cracked stones sealed beneath a yellow/brown sandy clay beneath the spread of the mound. Material from the mound was incorporated into the alluvial deposits of the palaeo-channel. No artefacts were recovered. (Ruttle 2015, 8-11)
