Recorded monuments
- WX032-024001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated just off the crest of a N-facing slope with a slight spur extending N just to the E. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 34m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 6.6m; Wth of top 5.3m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2.2m) growing trees, with an external flat bottomed fosse (at S: Wth of top 5.7m; D 1.3m) SSE NW and traces of the fosse elsewhere. There is an entrance gap and causeway (Wth 2.8m) with an ornamental iron gate at SW. The NE quadrant of the interior was reused as a Quaker burial ground (WX032-024002-) when a drainage channel (Wth 1m; D 0.5-1m) inside the bank and a central N-S channel (Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1.6m; D 0.5m) were probably added. 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: 15 November, 2012
- WX032-024002 Burial ground
Description
Situated just off the crest of a N-facing slope with a slight spur extending N just to the E. The interior (int. diam. 32.8) of rath (WX032-024001-) was reused as a Quaker burial ground from 1666 by the Forest Meeting until they acquired a burial ground (WX036-061----) in 1783 (Butler 2004, 64), and by the Cooladine Meeting until they acquired a burial ground in 1799 (ibid. 41). Burial continued thereafter and a lease for the ground was signed in 1816. The last burial was in 1953, and 19 burials are recorded after 1855 (ibid. 42). A drainage channel (Wth 1m; D 0.5-1m) inside the bank of the rath and a central N-S channel (Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1.6m; D 0.5m) were probably added during this time when the rath assumed its present appearance with trees on the bank and an ornamental iron gate across the entrance at SW. The NW quadrant was used for burial and 12 headstones dating from 1863-1940 are present. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 November, 2012
