Designated sites
- Special Area of Conservation: Slaney River Valley SAC 000781
Recorded monuments
- WX015-012 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Located in the little valley of a NW-SE stream, on the NE bank of the stream. It is described as 'Lady's Well' in Gothic script on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in the 1940s as a stone-lined spring (SMR file), but there is no evidence that it was ever venerated and it does not survive.

- WX015-013 Enclosure - large enclosure
Description
Situated at the top of a SE-facing slope overlooking the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 700m to the SE. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 100m N W-SE; c. 110-160m NE-SW) defined by a single ditch feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BGF022-023). The enclosure appears to be confined within the bounds of an existing quadrilateral field and relating closely to its boundaries. It is probably a small enclosed wood and post-medieval in date.

- WX015-059 Ring-ditch
Description
Located on a rise on a SE-facing slope overlooking the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 500m to the SE. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 15m) defined by a single wide fosse feature (Wth c. 6m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (16) 5–7). It is also visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (2018) 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 revision: 2 May, 2012 Amended: 23 July 2021
- WX015-092 Enclosure - large enclosure
Description
Located towards the bottom of a gentle SE-facing slope down to the meandering NE-SW River Bann which is c. 150m distant. The cropmark of a bulb-shaped area (diam. c. 70m NW-SE) defined by a narrow ditch is visible on iMAPs (2022). At N and SE the defining ditch extends off to the NE (L c. 85m plus NE-SW) from both points rather than enclosing a circle until the meet a NNW-SSE field bank and townland boundary with Castleland, but the perimeter cannot be traced beyond those points. Parallel ditches (c. 10m apart) extending from the N encounter the perimeter tangentially at NW, and another ditch loops S and E externally from the ditch at W. The large enclosure is partially visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére. See the attached enhanced view from iMAPs (2022) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 June 2023
