- WX002-039: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX002-039----. According to Kinahan (1879-88, 156) a mound of broken and burnt sandstone was just 30m S of a ring-cairn (WX002-044----) at Cummer. Its precise location is unknown, but it was close to a well called the Druids Well at what was then a concentrated settlement and is now developed as a farmyard. It was situated towards the top of a S-facing slope just down from a col between low hills c. 400m to the W and E and c. 40-50m higher than the col.

- WX002-042: Flat cemetery, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX002-042----. According to Kinahan (1879-88, 156) three cists containing urns were found W of a ring-cairn (WX002-044----) at Cummer c. 1840. One urn contained a pygmy cup, which is now in NMI (Kavanagh 1977, 89). The precise location of the cemetery is unknown, but it was in an area then occupied as a concentrated settlement, and now developed as a farmyard. It was situated towards the top of a S-facing slope just down from a col between low hills c. 400m to the W and E and c. 40-50m higher than the col. 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: 1 February, 2012
- WX002-043: Cist, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX002-043----. According to Kinahan (1879-88, 156) a cist containing an urn and ashes was found c. 20m NW of the ring-cairn (WX002-044----) c. 1877. This was probably part of the flat cemetery (WX002-042----). Its precise location is unknown, but it was in an area then occupied as a concentrated settlement, and now developed as a farmyard. It was situated towards the top of a S-facing slope just down from a col between low hills c. 400m to the W and E and c. 40-50m higher than the col.

The precise location of this monument is unknown, but it was in an area occupied as a concentrated settlement in the late 19th century, and is now developed as a farmyard. It was situated towards the top of a S-facing slope just down from a col between low hills c. 400m to the W and E and c. 40-50m higher than the col. It was described by Kinahan (1879-88) as two concentric circles of stones (diams c. 3m and c. 4m), one within the other, enclosing and partly overlying four pits filled with ashes and burnt stone. There was burnt stones and ashes between the rings N-E and S-W, and both the stones and pits were covered with a clay mantle (ext. diam. c. 6-8m). The cairn was at the centre of a complex area where a cist (WX002-043----) and a flat cemetery (WX002-0042----) had been discovered on separate occasions, and there was a fulacht fia (WX002-039----) nearby. The ring-cairn was listed as a possible Linkardstown-type cist (Ryan 1981, 146). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
