Recorded monuments

• WX035-019 Moated site
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope at the head of a shallow NE-SW valley. It was described in the 1980s as a rectangular area defined by earthen banks (Wth 3-4m) with outer moats (Wth 2.5m; D 1.5m), with traces of outer banks at the S and E sides (SMR file). It was removed since 1982 and is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. (Barry 1977, 217, WX 33) 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: 15 October, 2012

• WX035-035001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope. This is the parish church of Carnagh within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 55-70m E-W; c. 55m N-S) defined by earthen banks. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 John Alcock was the rector, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 270). Robert Leigh writing in 1684 described it as in ruins (Hore 1858-9, 454). The church is a rectangular building (ext. dims. 13.6m E-W; 7.05m N-S) with ivy-covered walls surviving almost to roof level (H 2-2.5m generally; T 0.85m) and with undressed quoins. There is a rectangular window with two lights in the E gable and a smaller window in the W gable. The single doorway (Wth 1.15m), now repaired with brick, is towards the W end of the N wall. 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: 15 October, 2012 Amended: 2 Sep. 2013
