• WX040-026 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Edan’s Well on both in gothic lettering, but it is more correctly known as St. Aidan’s Well, after St. Aidan of Ferns (Murphy c. 1994, 13, 196-201). It is situated in a small NW-SE valley at the headwaters of a NW-SE stream. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern was not celebrated and even the date was forgotten (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 354). The well is not recognised with certainty but a large granite stone (dims 0.96m x 0.88m; T 0.2-0.3m) is blocking a well on the N side of the stream. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-027001 Church
  Description

  Situated on the NE side of a small NW-SE stream, which is c. 30m to the SW. This is the site of the parish church of Clongeen. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Robert Dreighan was the curate, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 271). John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 recorded that no trace of the old church was visible (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 354). A multiple cresset stone with at least 5 cups (diam. 12-16cm; D 4-8cm) on three facets of an oblong sandstone piece (dims 0.43m x 0.34m; H 0.22m) is in the raised rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by masonry walls. St Edan's Well (WX040-026----) is c. 350m to the NW. Archaeological testing identified features (WX040-097004-) c. 60m to the N, and a burnt mound (WX040-097002-). Other features (WX040-097003-), elements of a field system (WX040-097001-) and a possible mill-race (WX040-097005-) were identified in testing c. 100m to the S, on the other side of the stream. 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: 19 February, 2013 Amended: 4 Sep. 2013

• WX040-027002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on the NE side of a small NW-SE stream, which is c. 30m to the SW. The site of the parish church of Clongeen (WX040-027001-) is in a raised rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by masonry walls. St Edan's Well (WX040-026----) is c. 350m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked as a rectangular bivallate enclosure (ext. dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 45m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch mpa, it is located towards the bottom of a gentle E-facing slope with the headwaters of a small N-S stream c. 170m to the E. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 27m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) SW-NE and a scarp H 0.5-0.9m) elsewhere with an external flat bottomed but dry fosse (Wth of top 4-8m; Wth of base 2m at S to 4m at N; ext. D 0.9m at E to 1.8m at N) and an outer overgrown bank (Wth 2-4m; ext. H 1-2m), that has an outer drain NW-SE. The interior has been quarried with the old spoil mound obscuring the inner bank and fosse at W. An entrance (Wth 3.3m) through the outer bank at W is probably modern and uses the spoil as a causeway. It is listed as a moated site (Barry 1977. 218, WX 38), but is probably a rath. 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: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-071 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated in the valley of a NW-SE stream, which is c. 20m to the N. A stone with a rectangular cross section (dims. 0.75m x 0.55-0.8m; H 1.3m) has a pointed top and is roughly oriented E-W. Archaeological testing (01E0977) in the vicinity of the stone by produced no archaeological material (Hurley 2006) and the stone is now preserved on a small green in a new housing development. Standing stone (WX040-085----) is c. 160m to the N. 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: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-074 Standing stone
  Description

  Located on a slight N-S rise with the valley of a small NW-SE stream c. 300m to the SW. This is a granite stone with quartz lenses, and it has a rectangular cross-section (dims. 0.9m x 0.6-0.8m; H 1.8m) with the long axis oriented NE-SW. 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: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-078 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a slight N-S spur. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single faint fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP, WX 98, 17-20). 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: Micahel Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-085 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated in the valley of a small NW-SE stream, the headwaters of which are c. 90m to the SW, and at the base of a slight W-facing slope. This is a granite stone with an irregular cross-section (dims. 0.5m x 0.3m; H 1.35m). It has no detectable orientation but is leaning to the SW. Stainding stone (WX040-071----) is c. 160m to the S. 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: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-086 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a broad plateau at a point where the townland boundary with Ballybrack curves around it W-N. It is known locally as 'Rath na Tine' (rath of fire), and is said to have been removed in the late 19th century or early 20th century. It is visible as a slightly raised and dished circular area (int. diam. c. 25m; ext. diam. c. 35m). 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: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-097001 Field system
  Description

  Situated in the valley of a NW-SE stream, on the SW bank. Archaeological testing (03E1395) of an extensive area (dims c. 200m E-W; c. 150m N-S) in advance of development identified numerous pits, gullies and furrows that are part of a field system of 17th or 18th century date, most of which would be preserved under green areas (McLoughlin 2006a). Further testing (06E0187) confirmed the extent and date of the fields but the burnt mound (WX040-097002-), a possible mill-race (WX040-097005-) and other features (WX040-097004-) also came to light (McLoughlin 2006b). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-097002 Burnt spread
  Description

  Situated on the SW bank of a NW-SE stream. Archaeological testing (06E0187) in advance of development uncovered a layer of burnt stone and charcoal-rich clay (L c. 14m; T 0.1m) lying directly on subsoil beneath c. 0.2-0.3m of topsoil (McLoughlin 2006b, 7-8). This was further investigated (06E0834) and appears to have been an area where limestone was crushed and shattered with heat, perhaps preparatory to inclusion in a lime-kiln (Purcell 2009). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-097003 Metalworking site
  Description

  Situated on the SW bank of a NW-SE stream. Archaeological testing (06E0187) in advance of development identified an area with metalworking waste and burnt clay located c. 15m S of the possible mill-race (WX040-027005-). (McLoughlin 2006b, 8) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-097004 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Located on a SW-facing slope in the valley of a small NW-SE stream and c. 60m N of the site of Clongeen parish church (WX040-027001-). Archaeological testing (06E0449) in advance of development identified a concentration of features including a pit (dims 0.6m x 0.3m; D 0.2m) and a pit (dims 0.9m x 0.3m) with a charcoal fill, as well as numerous furrows. (McLoughlin 2006c) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 19 February, 2013

• WX040-097005 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  Located in the valley of a small NW-SE stream. Archaeological testing (06E0187) in advance of development c. 120m S and SW of the parish church of Clongeen (WX040-027001-) identified a number of features including a linear ditch (Wth 4m; D 0.9-1.3m) running E-W (L c. 125m) (McLoughlin 2006b, addendum), which was further tested (06E0834) leading to the conclusion that it may have been a mill-race, although no structure of a mill was recorded (Purcell 2009).
