According to Hore (1900-11, vol. 5, 428-9) David le Harpur held three caracutes of the de Valence property in 1323-4 but it passed to the Hore family through the marriage of his daughter, Agatha, to William Hore of Horetown (WX041-048----) in 1309, and the Hores retained it thereafter. References to the castle date from 1526 (Jeffrey 1979, 76 7), and William Hore owned the castle and 120 acres at Harperstown in 1640 (Simington 1953, 143, 163), but he also owned 360 acres with Traceystown castle (WX041-002----) and 300 acres with Ardenagh castle (WX041-020----) in Taghmon parish (ibid. 84). It is situated on a gentle W-facing slope. Parts of the castle were said to be incorporated into Harperstown House (Hore 1900-11, vol. 5, 428-9), but no remains of a medieval structure is visible in the ruins of what was probably an 18th century mansion. 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.

Situated on gentle W-facing slope. A gable that survived at Harperstown House into the 19th century was thought to have been from a chapel associated with Harperstown Castle (WX041-024001-) (Jeffrey 1979, 76-7), but it does not survive in the remains of what is probably an 18th century house, and its location and classification is uncertain. Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12). ## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) No building of the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage stands in the townland of Harperstown. ## Ground and risks (Radon Risk Map of Ireland, EPA; Landslide Susceptibility Classification and LiDAR, Geological Survey Ireland) - Radon: About 1 in 5 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels.
