Recorded monuments
- WX006-037 Standing stone - pair
Description
Two standing stones are marked close together only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. They are located towards the top of an E-facing slope, with a col c. 300m to the W. An earthfast stone (dims c. 1.5m x c. 0.35m; H c. 1m) was described in 1939 with a second stone (dims c. 1.5m x c. 1.2m; max. H 0.9m at E), which might be bedrock, located c. 1.5m to the S (OSFM). Neither stone was visible at ground level in pasture in 1987. 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: 21 November 2012
- WX006-044001 Ecclesiastical site
Description
Marked as the site of a monastery only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map on the basis of local tradition, but nothing is known of its nature (OSFM). The townland name Clonamona is derived from Cluain na Manach – the meadow of the monks – and is recorded from 1594, confirming an ecclesiastical connection (Pers. com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich). It is situated in a fold towards the bottom of an E-facing slope with the NW-SE River Lask c. 450m to the NE. There is a well (diam. 1.4m) with drystone-walling (H 1.2m) in an overgrown area, but there is no evidence that it was venerated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
