Recorded monuments

• WX034-003 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Marked as large bivallate enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m; ext. diam. c. 75m) on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a N-facing slope overlooking a col c. 400m to the NE between Ballylane Hill c. 1.2 km SW of the col and a lower NE-SW ridge c. 500m N of the col. It is now completely quarried away. 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: 13 September, 2012

• WX034-097 Field boundary
  Description

  Located at the S side of a col between a low NE-SW ridge c. 550m to the N and Ballylane Hill c. 1 km to the SE. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a NE-SW linear ditch (Wth c. 0.6m; D 0.45m; available L 9m) with a V-shaped profile that was filled with dark brown silty clay beneath brown clay (Doyle et al. 2010, 36). It was set aside for resolution as Creaken Upper 1 and further excavation (E4112) determined that it is probably a fairly modern field drain (L c. 23m; Wth 1.34m; D 0.49m) (Clark and Hackett 2010b, 3, 8; Hackett 2013).
