• WX020-135 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and on the N and S banks towards the source of a small canalised WSW-ENE stream at a point where the stream is running W-E. Monitoring of topsoil removal (E004646) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in October 2016 identified archaeological deposits which were excavated (E004787) as Ballyorrill 3 in December 2016. Three pits (dims 0.74m x 0.62m; D 0.11m to 1.87m x 1.35m; D 0.42m) containing burnt stone are located close to the N edge of the stream. A sample of hazel from the base of one produced a C14 date of 1630-1497 cal. BC. A second phase consists of a single pit (dims 0.47m x 0.44m; D 0.17m) with evidence of burning located c. 45m N of the stream. It contained metallurgical waste and oak charcoal which produced a C14 date of 191-3 cal. BC. A third phase is represented by a WNW-ESE ditch (Wth of top 1.2m; D 0.65m) which was cut by a parallel and later ditch (Wth of top 0.9m; D 0.21m), both of which were filled with erosion layers. A fragment of hazel charcoal from the base of the earlier ditch produced a C14 date of 714-940 cal. AD. No artefacts were recovered from any context. The ditches are nearly parallel with and c. 25m S of the present townland boundary, which was recorded as an earthen bank (Wth 4.1m; H 1.1m) of reddish brown clay with drains to the N (Wth 2.4m; D 0.5m) and S (Wth 1.8m; D 0.48m). It was also the boundary between the medieval parishes of Monart to the N and St Mary’s Enniscorthy to the S. (Whitty and Kavanagh 2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 October 2020

• WX020-140001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated on a slight S-facing slope. Monitoring of topsoil removal (E004646) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in November 2016 identified archaeological features which were fully excavated (E004833) subsequently as Ballyorril 4. A fulacht fia (WX020-140002-) and three areas with archaeological features that were placed c. 30m apart and which can be combined were identified. One area consists of two pits, one of which (dims 0.7m x 0.52m; D 0.08m) was filled with a charcoal-flecked black clayey silt that produced six sherds of prehistoric pottery, while the second (dims 0.6m; x 0.5m; D 0.09m) was 13m to the S and had a fill of brown silty clay but produced no material. About 20m to the E were four pits, two post-holes and what is probably a kiln (dims 2.2m x 0.3-0.6m; D 0.1-0.26m). The pits varied from small (dims 0.77m x 0.3m; D 0.2m) to large (dims 2.8m x 1.2m; D 0.35m) and were filled mostly with silty clays. Eighteen sherds of prehistoric pottery were retrieved in this area. About 30m to the SW was an area with six pits. These are of similar size (dims c. 1m x 0.35-0.7m; D 0.1-0.3m) with one larger irregular pit (dims 2.6m x 1.65m; D 0.3m), which was re-cut once and in both phases it was filled with stones beneath a charcoal-flecked grey clay. Twelver sherds of pottery came from two of the pits. In this area was a charcoal production pit (L 3.28m; Wth 0.72m; D 0.14m) filled with a layer rich in charcoal sealed beneath a yellow clay layer.

• WX020-140002 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a slight S-facing slope. Monitoring of topsoil removal (E004646) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in November 2016 identified archaeological features which were fully excavated (E004833) subsequently as Ballyorril 4. Three areas with archaeological features that were placed c. 30m apart (WX020-140001-) and this fulacht fia were identified. An area of broken and burnt stone (max. dims 11.6m x 5.48m; D 0.24m) in four major deposits lay over a flat-bottomed subrectangular trough (dims 2.4m x 2.2m; D 0.43m) with rounded corners. It had 14 internal stakeholes and 11 around the edge. It was filled with six layers consisting mostly of black or brown silty sands with varying amounts of charcoal or heat-shattered stone. There were also some pits, but no artefacts were recovered.

• WX020-144 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and at the headwaters of a canalised NE-SW stream which is c. 15m to the SE. This monument was first identified in archaeological testing (E004551) of land required for the M11 Motorway (Ruttle 2014, 16), and was subsequently completely excavated (E004593) as Ballyorrill 2. A small mound of broken and burnt stone (dims 1.7m x 1.5m; T 0.13m) was close to but did not cover an oval trough (dims 1.5m x 1.1m; max. D 0.28m) that was filled with a dark grey silty clay with plentiful burnt stone beneath a layer of red/brown silty clay with iron-panning and burnt stones. No artefacts were recovered.
