• WX015-014 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated at the N end of a slight S-N ridge in the flood-plain if the ENE-WSW River Bann, with the stream c. 70m to the N. There is no visible evidence of an antiquity. 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: 30 April, 2012

• WX015-023001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight knoll on a gentle N-facing slope, with a S-N section of a small stream in its valley c. 50m to the E, and c. 700m from where the stream joins the NE-SW River Bann. This is the site of an early monastery and the Romanesque parish church of Clone within a D-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by masonry walls that were built with stones taken from the church (Anon 1889, 9). The name is derived from Cluain – a meadow, but no saint is identified with it. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 David Browne was the old priest, John Lacy the curate, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 266, 273). There is local knowledge of lintelled graves being found S of the graveyard in ploughing. The W gable and the W part of the S wall of what was probably a single-cell church survive to the roof level; elsewhere rebuilt walls (H c. 1.5m) define the structure (ext. dims 16.95m E–W; 8.3m N–S), but the original E wall was never visible. During the summer of 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Dinny Kinsella enabled Barry Lacey to record part of the ecclesiastical enclosure (WX015-023013-) (diam. c. 180m NW-SE) as the cropmark of two parallel fosse features extending from the stream E of the graveyard, curving S and joining the curve of the road SW of the graveyard. The road and a curving field boundary further N complete three quarters of a circle backing onto the valley of the stream. The lintelled W doorway of the church is battered (H 2.2m; Wth 0.85-0.95m) and there is an elaborate architrave projecting externally (Wth 2m) with chevrons on the outer moulding. The doorway may have been round-headed originally or had a tympanum that fitted under a relieving arch over the lintel (Du Noyer sketch, 1868). Seven heads and a stone with dogtooth decoration adorn the outer face of the W wall over the doorway only since repairs conducted in 1956 (Shine et al 2020, 25-6). A collapse of much of the outer face at the W end of the S wall occurred in March 2016 but is being repaired since 2018. Two cross-slabs, a sundial and two bullaun stones were in the graveyard. A third cross-slab (WX015-024----) that was on a mound c. 40m to the SE of church was moved to the graveyard, but it has not been seen for some years. The sundial and one of the graveyard cross-slabs have been moved to an OPW store at Tintern abbey (ME045-027001-) for safe-keeping. Just S of the doorway is a cross-slab (H 0.33m; Wth 0.2m; T 0.5m) that has been cut back but had a Maltese cross. At the SW angle of the church was a cross-slab (H 0.58m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.1m) with a Maltese cross in a circle that is now in Tintern. Just N of the doorway is a bullaun stone (dims. 0.85m x 0.46m; H 0.2m) with a single basin (diam. 0.33m; D 0.17m) and just NW of the church is a fragment of another bullaun stone (dims. 0.7m x 0.5m; T 0.15m) with portion of a single basin (diam. 0.25m). The sundial (H 1.18m; Wth of shaft 0.29m; T 0.11m) has a semicircular head (diam. 0.5m) and was at one time with the cross-slab outside the graveyard (WX015-024----) (Ffrench 1895, 407) but it is now at Tintern. A socket for the sundial (Kinahan 1883-4, 39) is now missing. All the decorated stones of the church building are in a green stone. The embrasure of a Romanesque window, probably from this church, is now at St Peter's church (WX015-003005-) in Ferns, and a face corbel from the church is now at St Mogue's Well (WX015-003002-) in Ferns. (Kinahan 1883-4; Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 584-8) About 5m W of the church doorway a grave-marker (WX015-023014-) (dims 0.54m x 0.18m) with a rough point on top (H 0.82m) has a lightly pecked curvilinear design on its E face occupying most of the stone. It consists of at least four arcs of closely-spaced lines curving up one side of the stone, around the top and down the other side in an oval pattern that is not closed visibly above the ground. It is undoubtedly prehistoric, and most resembles passage tomb art. Archaeological testing (00E0571) c. 150m to the NW of the church produced no archaeological material (Gregory 2002) and testing (02E0410) c. 100m to the NW had a similar result (McLoughlin 2006), but testing (06E0287) c. 100m to the NE on the other side of the stream produced evidence of a burnt mound (WX015-023009-) and other features (WX015-023010-) (McLoughlin 2009). On the SW side of the stream and c. 50m to the NW of the church isolated features, including two ditches (Wth 1.3m; 2.3m), burnt spreads, and pits with charcoal and slag were recorded (McLoughlin 2006a, 6-7). The larger ditch could relate to the outer ecclesiastical enclosure (WX015-023013-). This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 665.

• WX015-023002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a slight knoll on a gentle N-facing slope in the valley, with the valley of a S-N stream c. 50m to the E, and c. 700m from where the stream joins the NE-SW River Bann. The Romanesque parish church of Clone (WX015-023001-) is within a D-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by masonry walls that were built with stones taken from the church (Anon 1889, 9).

A grave-marker (WX015-023014-) c. 5m W of the doorway has a carving most resembling passage tomb art on its E face. This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 665.

  Description

  Within the graveyard (WX015-023002-) and at the W end of the S wall of the Romanesque church of Clone (WX015-023001-) was the sundial (H 1.18m; Wth of shaft 0.29m; T 0.11m) which has a semicircular head (diam. 0.5m), but its socket (Kinahan 1883-4, 39) is now missing. It was once with the cross-slab (WX015-024----) c. 40m outside the graveyard to the SE (Ffrench 1895, 407). The sundial and the cross-slab (WX015-023006-) were moved to an OPW depot at Tintern Abbey (WX045-027001-) for safe-keeping during Summer 2018 while the church is being repaired, but the sundial is now temporarily on display in the Visitor Centre at Ferns Castle (WX015-003001-).

• WX015-023013 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated in the valley of a small SE-NW stream, with a SSE-NNW section of the stream forming the E edge, and c. 700m from where the stream joins the NE-SW River Bann. This is the site of an early monastery and the Romanesque parish church of Clone (WX015-023001-) within a D-shaped graveyard (WX015-0230002-). During the summer of 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Dinny Kinsella enabled Barry Lacey to identify part of the ecclesiastical enclosure (ext. diam. c. 180m NW-SE; int. diam. c. 140m NW-SE) of the original monastery as the cropmark of two parallel fosse features placed close together extending W from the stream, curving S of the graveyard and joining the curve of the road SW of the graveyard. The road and a curving field boundary further N complete three quarters of a circle backing onto the stream. Following on from this, a fluxgate gradiometer survey (19R0274) determined that there is an inner D-shaped enclosure (int. dims c. 140m N-S; c. 110m E-W) defined again partially by two fosses placed close to each other and c. 20m inside the outer enclosure, and a third innermost enclosure (dims c. 100m E-W; c. 90m N-S) extending in a tangential fashion from the W side of the graveyard, N and E to the stream. Many of the enclosing features can be seen on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The middle enclosure has two straight NNW-SSE fosses c. 15m and c. 30m E of the graveyard forming the straight E side. Archaeological testing (19E0766) across the inner fosse of the outer enclosure SW of the graveyard proves it to be a flat bottomed ditch (Wth of top 3.04m; Wth of base c. 0.8m; D 1.2m) with five fills which may have eroded from banks inside and outside the ditch. A sample of charcoal from this ditch provides the surprising C14 result of 3716-3954 cal. BC, placing it very early in the Neolithic. A test trench across the fosses of what is thought to be the middle enclosure SW of the graveyard revealed a wide ditch (Wth of top 3.25m; D 1.5m) that has five fills, with a smaller ditch (Wth of top 1.1m; D 0.9m) 1.3m inside it with similar fills, and another ditch (Wth of top 2.2m; D 0.8m) immediately outside the wide ditch. No artefacts were recovered and the upper levels in both trenches were cut by furrows, but a charcoal sample from the upper levels of the large ditch produced a radiocarbon date of cal. AD 66-821 (Shine et al. 2020).

• WX015-023014 Passage tomb art
  Description

  About 5m W of the Romanesque doorway of Clone parish church (WX015-023001-) and within the graveyard is a grave-marker (dims 0.54m x 0.18m) with a rough point on top (H 0.82m) which has a lightly pecked curvilinear design on its E face occupying most of the stone. It consists of at least four arcs of closely-spaced lines curving up one side of the stone, around the top and down the other side in an oval pattern that is not closed visibly above the ground.

• WX015-024 Cross-slab
  Description

  Located at the N edge of a plateau in the valley of a small E-W stream, which is c. 50m to the NE, and c. 40m SE of Clone church (WX013-023001-), with a fold in the land between the location and the church. It was described as being on a mound with the sundial (WX015-023004-) and perhaps other cross-slabs (Ffrench 1895). This is an upright slab (total H c. 1.02m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.26m) with an incised Maltese cross in a circle (diam. 0.29m) on one face. It was first described by Du Noyer (1864-6, 443) in this position when it was facing W, but it was moved to a position (WX015-023012-) in the graveyard (WX015-023002-) during the 1990s. At the moment it is temporarily in storage at the OPW depot in Kilkenny (see KK019-026410-).

• WX015-038 Bridge
  Description

  According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Edward Masterson and a FitzRobert owned land amounting to 600 acres in Upper Ferns, Crory, and the unkown Monedurloge, Aghnemoe (Askinamoe?), Bolinerdroome and Kavanasland (Castleland?) in Ferns parish (Simington 1953, 266). The property contained a Castle (WX015-003001-), a church and abbey (WX015-003004-), a mill in repair, a ruined mill, two bridges on the River Bann, and two weirs. Doran's bridge is a four-arch, hump-back bridge with arches of equal width, dressed voussoirs and cut-wawter piers. It was extant in 1839 (OS map) and is probably 18th century in date.
