• WX020-037 Moated site
  Description

  Marked as a rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims. c. 52m E-W; c. 45m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a broad plateau. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. 32m N-S: 30m E-W) with the perimeter defined by field banks and hedges at the E and S and the remains of a moat (Wth 11-13m; int. D 0.8m) at the W and N, with a counterscarp bank at N. (Barry 1977, 219, WX 45) 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: 6 June, 2012

• WX020-114 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Corbally 5 (Hardy et al. 2010, 88-9). It is situated at the bottom of a slight N-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 10m to the N, and it was fully excavated (E4237) by C. Hardy as three large pits (dims 3m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW; D 0.4m: 1.7m N-S; 1.5m E-W; D 0.26m: 4.36m N-S; 1.05m E-W; D 0.15-0.5m), four smaller pits (dims 0.56m x 0.56m; D 0.16m to 1.1m x 0.4m; D 0.16m), four post-holes and a stake-hole in a concentrated area (dims 8m NW-SE; 6m NE-SW). Two of the large pits had fire-reddened bases and all had elements of charcoal in their fill. The only artefact recovered was a chert knife from the longest pit. The fulacht fia (WX020-115001-) and hut-site (WX020-115002-) are c. 80-100m to the SSE, and the hearth (WX020-113----) in Toom is c. 120m to the N.

• WX020-115001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as a part of Corbally 4 (Hardy et al. 2010, 87-8). It is situated on a slight N-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 90-100m to the N. It was fully excavated (E4241) by C. Hardy as an upper (dims 8.4m x 6m; T 0.2m) and lower (dims 9.5m x 8.4m; T 0.24m) spread of burnt and broken stone that were overlying a rectangular, flat-bottomed trough at their E edge. The trough was connected by a small channel with a circular concave addition at its W end (total dims 2.84m E-W; 1.98m N-S; D 0.35-0.51m) into which the trough could drain. A single large stake-hole was in each corner of the rectangular trough, suggesting that it may have been wood-lined, but no wood survived. Immediately to the E of the trough there was a total of 41 stake-holes in two concentrations, but no pattern could be discerned, and there was a large oval pit (dims 2.16m NE-SW; 1.44m; D 0.31m) just SW of the trough. The circular hut-site (WX020-115002-) is 8m NNW of the trough and outside the extent of the mound. The pits (WX020-114----) are c. 100m to the NNW. The corn-drying kiln (WX020-116----) is c. 80m to the SW, and the N perimeter of the enclosure (WX020-117001-) is c. 30m to the S.

• WX020-115002 Hut site
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as a part of Corbally 4 (Hardy et al. 2010, 87-8). It is situated on a slight N-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 90-100m to the N. It was fully excavated (E4241) by C. Hardy who uncovered a circular structure (int. diam. 5.3m) defined by three sections of incomplete slot-trenches (Wth 0.6-0.23m; D 0.01-0.1m). The entrance is a gap (Wth 1.6m) at N and much of the perimeter is missing at SW. No hearth was present but it has a central post-hole. The only other structural posts were a pair outside the wall at E. There were two gullies outside the wall at SE, and the inner one (L 8m; Wth 0.21m; D 0.14m) may have been a drip gully, but the wider, outer one (L 7.5m; Wth 0.47m; D 0.23m) may have provided general drainage from the fulacht fia (WX020-115001-) whose trough h is just 8m to the SSE. The pits (WX020-114----) are c. 80m to the NNW. (Hardy and Rajic 2012; Hardy 2013, 238) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013

• WX020-116 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Corbally 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 85). It is situated on a SW-facing slope and was fully excavated (E4235) by C. Hardy as a large oval pit (dims 2.25m NE-SW; 1.15m NW-SE; D 0.18m) with a flue (dims 1.98m N-S; 0.53m E-W; D 0.18m) extending N from the NE end of the bowl. The chamber had a number of flat stones at the base suggesting that it may have had a stone lining. There was evidence of scorching at the entrance to the chamber. The perimeter of the enclosure (WX020-117001-) is c. 35m to the SE, and there is another corn-drying kiln (WX020-117002-) c. 70m to the SE.

• WX020-117001 Enclosure
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Corbally 2 & 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 92-3). It is situated on a slight E-W spur with the ground sloping down to the S. It was partially excavated (E4276) by C. Hardy as the W half of a large subcircular enclosure (dim. c. 60m N-S) defined by a round-bottomed ditch or fosse (Wth c. 2.53m; D c. 1.25m), with an entrance gap (Wth 1m) at NW. Seven ditch fills were composed of silts and backfill, all of which contained some slag, but this was more plentiful around the entrance. Some pottery, a possible loom-weight and a possible hammer or anvil were recovered from the ditch, but there was no evidence of a bank inside or outside this feature. Three small pits were the only features recorded from the interior, and isolated pits were discovered outside the ditch, where the most significant feature was a concentration of iron slag at SW, and a corn-drying kiln c. 4m distant from the fosse at S. This consisted of two pits connected by a flue (L 3m), which sloped up from the fire-pit (diam. 1.5m; D 0.35m) at W to the drying chamber (Wth 1.44m; D 1m) at E (total L 7.66m E-W). The firing chamber was partially lined with stones, and two stones restricted the entrance to the flue. The fulacht fia (WX020-115001-) is c. 30m outside the perimeter of the enclosure at N, and the corn-drying kiln (WX020-116----) is c. 35m outside the perimeter at NW.

  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme, and set aside for resolution as Corbally 2 & 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 92-3). It is situated on a slight E-W spur with the ground sloping away to the S, and it was 4m outside the ditch of enclosure (WX020-117001-) at S. It was fully excavated (E4256) by C. Hardy, and consisted of two pits connected by a flue (L 3m), which sloped up from the fire-pit (diam. 1.5m; D 0.35m) at W to the drying chamber (Wth 1.44m; D 1m) at E (total L 7.66m E-W). The firing chamber was partially lined with stones, and two stones restricted the entrance to the flue. There is another corn-drying kiln (WX020-116----) c. 70m to the NW.

• WX020-141001 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located on a gentle NW-facing slope. Archaeological testing (E004811) of an area required for the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in January 2017 (Whitty and Kavanagh 2017) identified archaeological features (excavations.ie 2017:167) in four areas which were fully excavated (E004857) subsequently as parts of Corbally 6. Area 1 consisted of four large pits truncated by a burnt spread (excavations.ie 2017:314). The pits varied from small (dims 1.3m x 1.1m; D 0.2m) to large (dims 4m x 2.7m; D 0.4m) and were filled with similar layers varying from black to yellow silty sands and were largely the result of natural silting. The largest was re-cut twice. No artefacts were recovered, and none served as a trough for the burnt mound material which was a single thin layer (dims 9.5m x 4.8m; D 0.06m) located c. 10-15m to the S. Two N-S drains placed 2-3m apart, probably drains on either side of a modern and mapped field bank cut the burnt spread.

  Description

  Located on a gentle SW-facing slope. Archaeological testing (E004811) of an area required for the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in January 2017 (Whitty and Kavanagh 2017) identified archaeological features (excavations.ie 2017:167) in three areas which were fully excavated (E004857) subsequently as parts of Corbally 6 (excavatioins.ie 2017:314). Area 2 consisted of a single multi-phase kiln. The initial feature was a single oval cut (dims 1.12m x 0.95m; D 0.3m) with yellow to dark brown silty sands. The first re-cut was an oval bowl (dims 0.9m x 0.576m; D 0.22m) with a black, charcoal-rich clay lining and a secondary fill of oxidized brown silty clay. The last manifestation was the largest (dims 1.64m x 1.28m; D 0.56m) with 13 layers rich in charcoal and ash. There were few artefacts.

  Description

  Located on a gentle NW-facing slope. Archaeological testing (E004811) of an area required for the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in January 2017 (Whitty and Kavanagh 2017) identified archaeological features (excavations.ie 2017:167) in three areas which were fully excavated (E004857) subsequently as parts of Corbally 6 (excavations.ie 2017:314). Area 3 was just outside the 30m wide fallow zone retained around the enclosure (WX020-117001-) at SE and comprised a kiln with 6 related pits, and 7 more distant pits. The keyhole-type kiln (dims 2.6m x 1.8m; D 0.72m) had a firing chamber at SW, and had a clay lining in the drying chamber. It was filled with layers of grey to brown sandy clays representing two firings. A rubbing stone and two possible quern fragments were recovered. The nearby pits were small and varied from (0.57m x 0.4m; D 0.13m) to (1.1m x 0.75m; D 0.2m), were filled with brown silty sands, and produced no artefacts. Further from the kiln six pits varied in size from (dims 0.8m x 0.6m; D 0.3m) to (dims 3.3m x 2.8m; D 0.6m) with similar brown sandy clay fills. A saddle quern, one piece of flint debitage and 28 fragments from a single flint nodule were recovered. (Whitty & Kavanagh 2018, 14-23) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 November 2020
