Recorded monuments

• WX036-023 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Marked as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1839 (ext. diam. c. 50-55m) and 1924 (ext. diam. c. 40-45m) eds of the OS 6 inch map, and situated on a broad but low N-S ridge. It is not visible at ground level in a harvested cereal crop. Archaeological testing (08E0172) c. 60m to the NW produced no related material (Tobin 2011), and further work (09E0561) had a similar outcome (Stafford 2013). 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: 5 November, 2012

• WX036-067 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. The faint cropmark of circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (29) 6-9). 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: 17 July 2007 Amended: 2 May, 2014

• WX036-083 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0476) subsequently. It is situated on a fairly level landscape. A keyhole-shaped kiln consisting of an elaborate drying chamber (int. diam. 2.87m N-S; 2.72m E-W; D 0.7m) that had near vertical sides and a flat base was excavated. It was lined and quartered with double rows (0.2m apart) of contiguous stones in a pattern resembling a ringed cross, which facilitated the even spread of the heat. The flue was a channel (L 4m) extending to the SW, becoming broader (Wth 0.84-2.75m) and shallower with distance from the drying chamber. It was lined with stones, but few remained. A sample from the kiln fill produced a C14 date of cal AD 1450-1650. The working area (WX036-083001-) c. 40m to the SSW may have been contemporary, but the field system recorded as two parallel ditches and parallel furrows is later and probably post-medieval.

• WX036-083001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0476) subsequently. It is situated on a fairly level landscape. This is an area (dims. c. 8m NW-SE; c. 6m NE-SW) with a number of deposits and some features including a hearth. Some shallow pits contained charcoal in their fills, probably from a hearth and were sealed by re-deposited subsoil that may have formed a work-surface. This was overlaid by layers of charcoal-rich clays with medieval ceramics and further more sterile clays to renew the surface more than once. A shallow pit (diam. 1.4m) 5m to the NE with charcoal in its upper fill is interpreted as a hearth, with a collection of stake-holes in its vicinity.

• WX036-084 Cremated remains
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0623) subsequently. It is situated on a fairly level landscape. A concentration of five small pits (dims. 0.55m x 0.32m; D 0.07m to diam. 1.5m; D 0.05m) are filled with silty clays, almost all of which contain burnt bone, some of which is human. A fragment of oak charcoal produced a C14 date of cal AD 103-122. 20m to the NE is a large shallow pit (dims. 2.72m x 1m; D 0.15m) with a smaller one (diam. 0.4m; D 0.57m) nearby, but only the latter contained burnt bone.

• WX036-085 Hearth
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0624) subsequently. It is situated on a fairly level landscape. An oval pit (dims 1.24m x 0.9m; D 0.15m) in the oxidized subsoil was filled with layers of varying amounts of charcoal. A charcoal sample that was either oak or elm produced a C14 date of cal BC 372-167. (Elder 2002; Elder and Johnston 2006) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 November, 2012

• WX036-086 Structure
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0625) subsequently. It is situated on a W-facing slope. Seven post-holes and stake-holes form a rough right-angle. Four are aligned NW-SE (L c. 1.8m). 1.5m SW of its S end is a cluster of three post-holes. 7m to the W a shallow pit (dims 1.2m x 0.76m; D 0.07m) with oxidized sides may represent the remains of a hearth. No artefacts or samples for C14 dating were recovered, but it is probably prehistoric in date. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 November, 2012

• WX036-087 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  First identified in centre-line testing (00E0379) for the re-alignment of the N25 Wexford town to New Ross road (Elder and Tierney 2002), and completely excavated (00E0626) subsequently. It is situated on a SW-facing slope. The keyhole-shaped kiln consisted of a stone-lined bowl (diam. 3.08m N-S; 3m E-W; D 0.95m) with a flat bottom that had a channel (L 2.4m; D 0.1-0.6m) leading from the flue at SW through the centre of the bowl. The flue (L 4m) extended to the SW (Wth 1-2m), and was cut partially into bedrock. After a period of disuse a smaller bowl (dims. 2.5m N-S; 2.2m E-W) utilised the same flue, and further re-cuts occurred. A charcoal sample from the final use of the kiln produced a C14 date of cal AD 1640-1950. (Tierney 2002; Tierney and Johnston 2006) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 November, 2012
