• WX020-069 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a small circular area (diam. c. 5m) defined by a fosse feature (Wth c. 2m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (52) 0-2) and on Google Earth (14/07/2018).

• WX020-084 Habitation site
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Coolnahorna 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 111-12). It is situated on a level landscape at the bottom of a NE-SW ridge that rises over it to the NW. It was excavated (E4275) by B. Sutton who recorded fourteen pits (dims 0.5m x 0.47m; D 0.14m to 1.4m x 00.95m; D 0.35m), one of which was exceptionally large (dims 3.9m x 3.5m; D 0.35m). Also within the confined area (dims c. 25m x c. 25m) were one stake-hole, five post-holes, and a small sample of oxidized subsoil. Twenty four sherds of prehistoric pottery, two flints and one ferrous object were recovered. The ditch-barrow (WX020-085----) is c. 175m to the NE.

• WX020-085 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Coolnahorna 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 113). It is situated on a slight E-facing slope at the bottom of a NE-SW ridge that rises over it to the NW. It was fully excavated (E4239) by B. Sutton when the ditch-barrow was recorded as a subcircular area (int. dims c. 4.3m E-W; c. 3.95m N-S: ext. dims 5.4m E-W; 4.8m N-S) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 0.5-0.75m; D 0.13-0.29m). A collection of boulders on the perimeter at E appear to be natural but they obscure the fosse in this area (L c. 2-3m). A single cremation was in the ditch fill at S, but charcoal-rich deposits formed its upper fills, which produced fragments of a possible ear-ring and metal slag. There was no central feature but a cremation (diam. 0.18m; D 0.08m) with a blue glass bead was inserted into the ditch fill at S, and there was a cremation pit (diam. 0.34m; D 0.17m) with three fragments of copper-alloy pins and a stone bead just 1m to the S. Another cremation pit (dims 0.7m x 0.66m; D 0.18m) was 8m W of the barrow and a third (dims 1.04m x 0.77m; D 0.15m) was c. 10.5m to the N amongst four other equally large pits, two post-holes and some stake-holes. There were other isolated pits, some of which might be considered as cremation burials. Many of the pits produced sherds of prehistoric pottery, and in total about 54 sherds were recovered. The habitation site (WX020-084----) is c. 175m to the SW. (Hardy 2012; Sutton 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013

• WX020-086 Burnt mound
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and resolved by A. Mulcahy as Coolnahorna 4 (E4348) and was resolved during the cleaning stage (Hardy et al. 2010, 19-20). It is situated at the bottom of an E-facing slope with a small S-N stream c. 25m to the E. It proved to be two small spreads of broken and burnt stone (dims 1.5m x 0.7m; T 0.05m: 1.1m x 0.87m; T 0.15m) contained within a spread of compact grey clay (dims 2.7m x c. 2m; T 0.1m), but no features were associated with these deposits.
